Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Three sets of cryogenic sapphire-resonator oscillators (CSOs), have been developed to operate using cryo-refrigerators and low-vibration cryostats. The Allan deviation was evaluated through the three-cornered hat method, and was better than 2×10-15 for averaging times of 1 s to 1 day. Autonomous and continuous operation over a year without any frequency unlocking became possible. The first CSO is now used with our cesium atomic fountain frequency standard, which has achieved a nearly quantum-projection-noise-limited frequency stability of 8×10-14 at 1 second.
