Abstract
This paper describes the development and measurement of a miniaturized optical frequency standard based on the rubidium two-photon transition at 778 nm. The optical standard has been implemented on a micro-optics breadboard and operates on <500 mW of electrical power. The optical standard shows good short term stability (3e-12 at 1 sec) compared to microwave atomic clocks with similar SWaP.Citation
