  2. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    In addition to increased accuracy, the development of chip-scale atomic clocks has expanded the number of places atomic clocks can be used. In August 2004, NIST scientists demonstrated a chip-scale atomic clock that was 100 times smaller than an ordinary atomic clock and had a much smaller power consumption of 125 mW .

  3. NIST-F1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST-F1

    The clock took less than four years to test and build, and was developed by Steve Jefferts and Dawn Meekhof of the Time and Frequency Division of NIST's Physical Measurement Laboratory. [1] The clock replaced NIST-7, a cesium beam atomic clock used from 1993 to 1999. NIST-F1 is ten times more accurate than NIST-7.

  4. Chip-scale atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip-scale_atomic_clock

    A chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) is a compact, low-power atomic clock fabricated using techniques of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and incorporating a low-power semiconductor laser as the light source. The first CSAC physics package was demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2003, [1] based on an ...

  5. Caesium standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium_standard

    A caesium atomic fountain used as part of an atomic clock. The caesium standard is a primary frequency standard in which the photon absorption by transitions between the two hyperfine ground states of caesium-133 atoms is used to control the output frequency. The first caesium clock was built by Louis Essen in 1955 at the National Physical ...

  6. History of timekeeping devices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_timekeeping_devices

    The caesium atomic clock maintained by NIST is accurate to 30 billionths of a second per year. [206] Atomic clocks have employed other elements, such as hydrogen and rubidium vapor, offering greater stability (in the case of hydrogen clocks) and smaller size, lower power consumption, and thus lower cost (in the case of rubidium clocks). [206]

  7. International Atomic Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time

    International Atomic Time. International Atomic Time (abbreviated TAI, from its French name temps atomique international[1]) is a high-precision atomic coordinate time standard based on the notional passage of proper time on Earth's geoid. [2] TAI is a weighted average of the time kept by over 450 atomic clocks in over 80 national laboratories ...
