Light-Weight Hydrogen Maser.

Abstract

Based upon a new approach to cavity resonator and atom storage assembly design, experimental work was undertaken to develop a much smaller and lighter hydrogen maser frequency standard. An operational prototype maser of light-weight and small size resulted, but the new cavity and bulb design did not result in improved stability. Upon knowledge gained in this program further work funded by other government agencies has resulted in successful hydrogen maser oscillators having unprecedent frequency stability. Keywords: Hydrogen maser; Atomic frequency; Time standard.
