On the Line Q Degradation in Hydrogen Masers
Abstract
In hydrogen masers, the atomic resonance quality factor is largely determined by the properties of the Teflon coating on the quartz storage bulb. Normally a good Teflon coating will last many years. On the other hand, there may be a relatively fast degradation of the quality factor if the Teflon coating is bad. This paper updates a series of observations and measurements performed on an hydrogen maser that had successively a bad and a good Teflon coating.
