Abstract :
The abstract presents a fully functional Ramsey-CPT atomic clock, which has the characteristics of compact structure, small volume, low cost, strong adaptability, high stability, convenient for adjustment, unique design, and easy-to-commercialization. The Ramsey-CPT atomic clock combines the method of separated oscillatory fields and the phenomenon of coherent population trapping, so as to obtain narrower line width and better signal-to-noise ratio of the resonance signal for improving the frequency stability. It not only keeps the advantages of miniaturization and low power of the CPT atomic clock, but also can obtain higher frequency stability than CPT atomic clock about one order of magnitude.
