Next-Generation Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks
We describe the development of next-generation chip-scale atomic clocks based on optical transitions and atomic beams. Such clocks may allow improved short- and long-term frequency stability while maintaining small size, low power consumption and a high level of integration.
About the Speaker
Dr. John Kitching is the Leader of the Atomic Devices and Instrumentation Group in The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Physical Measurements Laboratory and a NIST Fellow. He received his PhD in Applied Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1995. He and his group pioneered the development of microfabricated “chip-scale” atomic devices for use as frequency references, magnetometers and other sensors. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the IEEE and has received many awards for his work, including the Department of Commerce Silver and Gold Medals, the 2015 IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award, the 2016 IEEE-UFFC Rabi Award and the 2014 Rank Prize. He has published over 100 papers in refereed journals, given numerous invited and plenary talks and awarded six patents.
