  2. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    Time standards. [edit] An atomic clock is based on a system of atoms which may be in one of two possible energy states. A group of atoms in one state is prepared, then subjected to microwave radiation. If the radiation is of the correct frequency, a number of atoms will transition to the other energy state.

  3. Chip-scale atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip-scale_atomic_clock

    A chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) is a compact, low-power atomic clock fabricated using techniques of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and incorporating a low-power semiconductor laser as the light source. The first CSAC physics package was demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2003, [1] based on an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock

    Radio clock. A modern LF radio-controlled clock. A radio clock or radio-controlled clock (RCC), and often colloquially (and incorrectly [1]) referred to as an "atomic clock", is a type of quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock.

  6. Nuclear clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_clock

    A nuclear clock or nuclear optical clock is a atomic clock being developed that will use the energy of a nuclear isomeric transition as its reference frequency, [1] instead of the atomic electron transition energy used by conventional atomic clocks. Such a clock is expected to be more accurate than the best current atomic clocks by a factor of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST-F1

    NIST-F1. NIST-F1 is a cesium fountain clock, a type of atomic clock, in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, and serves as the United States' primary time and frequency standard. The clock took less than four years to test and build, and was developed by Steve Jefferts and Dawn Meekhof of the Time and ...
