It's not a one man job, because if it was, someone would have done it.

Subject: AW: [time-nuts] homebrew atomic reference oscillator?
Bob, Probably it is possible to build an atomic frequency reference at home. First of all you have to decide which type of atomic standard you desire to construct. Cs, Rb, H2, NH3, etc. active or passive and so on. Now theoretical construction starts. Afterwards you have to find sources for all the materials needed. Soon you will end up at the price of a brand new Cs Standard. The next and most important point to my opinion is will I be able to finish the project. Do I have the expertise to solve all difficulties involved. Although it's a nice idea I doubt the final success. For sure its possible to improve existing used instruments, but that's much less work than engineering a complete instrument.

Asking this question just out of curiosity: Is it at all feasible to home build an atomic standard? I guess it would be Rb and not Cs. What are the difficulties that would be encountered?
