Abstract
We present first a new 3-dimensional cooling configuration with isotropic light. We demonstrate that this cooling technique is very efficient and easy to operate. Secondly, we present two simple clock configurations using a source of atoms cooled in isotropic light. We expect these clocks to be very compact with good frequency performances.
