  • Abstract
    The first prototype of an eXtra Small Atomic Resonator (XSAR) was presented by CSEM in 2009. This paper describes the progress realized in 2010 towards the realization of a low-power miniature atomic clock. We present a second prototype as well as the first RF frequency and laser locked loops fully integrated on a chip.
