On the Light Shift and Buffer Gas Shift in Passive Rubidium Frequency Standards,

Abstract

Results of calculation and measurements on the light shift and buffer gas shift in passive rubidium frequency standards are reported. The light shift was measured for two configurations: the separated filter and the integrated filter approaches. A phenomenological analysis, which describes well the results obtained, is presented. Measurements of the frequency shifts created by various buffer gases-pure or mixture- are reported. A nonlinear dependence of frequency versus temperature is observed. The results are compared to already published data and a simple analysis using an equation quadratic in temperature is used to explain those results. (Author)
