Abstract

The physics package for a chip-scale atomic frequency standard was constructed and tested. The device has a total volume of 9.5 mm3, dissipates 75 mW of electrical power at an ambient temperature of 45 °C and has a short-term fractional frequency instability of 2.4×10-10/√τ. Advanced cell fabrication techniques indicate a long-term instability near 10-11 may be feasible
