Abstract
This paper discusses an optical atomic clock that uses a narrow atomic resonance to control the frequency of a spectrally narrow laser source. The atomically controlled frequency of the laser gives the clock oscillation frequency as an optical output and provides the stable reference for frequency and timing.
