Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an optical module for an atomic oscillator and an atomic oscillator. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, atomic oscillators using CPT (Coherent Population Trapping), which is one of the quantum interference effects, have been proposed, and miniaturization and low power consumption of devices are expected. The atomic oscillator using CPT is an oscillation that utilizes the phenomenon (EIT phenomenon: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency) that stops the absorption of coherent light when alkali metal atoms are irradiated with coherent light having two different wavelengths (frequency). device.
[0003] In an atomic oscillator, an alkali metal atom such as rubidium (Rb) or cesium (Cs) is usually enclosed in a container (gas cell) made of silicon oxide or the like, and the EIT phenomen...
