Abstract

The NIST program on chip-scale atomic devices (CSAD) seeks to design, build and characterize miniature atomic instruments and sensors based on fabrication techniques traditionally used in the field of microelectronics and micro-electric-mechanical systems (MEMS). We are currently building structures such as those shown above, that are the size of a grain of rice (V
