Optical Atomic Clock: A long look at the captured atoms
On the way to the next generation of atomic clocks
07-Feb-2008 -
Optical clocks might become the atomic clocks of the future. Their "pendulum", i.e. the regular oscillation process which each clock needs, is an oscillation in the range of the visible light. As its frequency is higher than that of the microwave oscillations of the cesium atomic clocks, ...
