Hi, list member I'm planning to build a CPT (coherent-population-trapping) rubidium clock as my next hobby project. The main purpose is to learn the principles behind CPT rubidium clock, and hopefully got similar or better performance than commercial miniature rubidium clock such as FE-5680A.
To build this clock, I think for the Rb 87 vapor cell I could use a cell removed from commercial rubidium clock. Another import component is 794.7 nm VCSEL laser diode. Does anyone know some good sources I could buy small quantities (< 5pcs) of this special wavelength VCSEL (perfer a model targeting for CPT rubidium clock applications), and what’s approximate price? if necessary you could send relevant information to my email <mimitech AT gmail DOT com>. Has anyone else already done or is doing similar projects? I'd be very appreciative to know what your thoughts and suggestions for this project. Thanks very much. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
