8 Cesium-Clock Concept

9 Cesium Clock Physics Package

10 Atom-Beam Shutter Shutters are used inside the vacuum system to shield the atoms in the clock region from laser light. esign Goals include: High reliability (1 year operation at 3 Hz) Fast (< 3 ms time from 100% closed to 90% open) Non-magnetic (< 1- µg stray field at 1cm) Ultra-high vacuum compatible (<10 1 atm) Relatively large aperture (> 1 cm) Cannot disturb microgravity environment. Light tight Prototype of high-performance nonmagnetic shutter. Device is built using commercial PZT actuators and nonmagnetic materials

11 Laser and Optics System

12 Frequency vs. Phase Modulation Advantages: Insensitive to Acceleration, Reduced Dead Time, and System Is Always On Resonance f 0 (Cs)

13 Independent phase control of cavities f const 1 Shorter attack times (clearing time is for second cavity only)

14 Vibration Sensitivity Frequency Modulation: y FM ( f ) 11 m -1 x( f ) 10 Accelerations at harmonics of the modulation frequency alias in to DC Phase Modulation: y PM ( f ) 16 m -1 x( f ) 10 Dramatic reduction in sensitivity to vibrations

15 Systematic Frequency Shifts Major Systematic Effects for PARCS are: Zeeman Effect For 1% field stability, f/f < Cavity Phase Effects For a titanium cavity and T < 0.1 K, f/f < 5x10-17 Spin Exchange Shift For a Ramsey Time of.5 s, f/f < 4 x Blackbody Shift For a T and temperature uncertainty < 0.1 K, f/f ~ 3 x 10-17
