En résumé
Atomic frequency standards provide the most accurate measurements in physics. The Quantum Physics of Atomic Frequency Standards is an extensive survey of the subject…
The first volume begins with a quantum mechanics treatment of the interaction of static fields and electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules. Each of the important phenomena – noise, relaxation, broadening and frequency shifts – is treated in detail and optical pumping and population inversion are explained. With all the background material now in place the major part of these volumes is devoted to a theoretical analysis of the operation of the numerous atomic frequency standards that are either in use, are being studied or have been proposed.
* Caesium atomic beam frequency standards
* Hydrogen maser
* Rubidium frequency standards
* Mercury ion trap
* Frequency stabilized lasers
* Impact of atomic frequency standards on navigation and communication systems, in industry, in new technology and on fundamental research.
