Cesium Optique Sol (COS): a very high-performance optically-pumped cesium beam atomic clock for high-end frequency reference sources and time keeping system applications

Abstract (German)

The project will develop a very high performance Cesium beam clock based on optical pumping technique and using low noise and narrow linewidth laser diode module. This clock will provide unprecedented longterm stability and accuracy at commercial level. As frequency reference source, the clock will open new business opportunities in high performance synchronization network, telecommunications, metrology and space applications at the ground segment level.
