As we continue to introduce Space CSAC to the market, it is important to point out that while customers bring varying requirements when seeking an atomic reference for space missions, they share a curiosity about how the CSAC becomes a Space CSAC. Read more »
Microsemi has launched our SA.45s commercial space chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC), the industry’s first commercially available radiation-tolerant CSAC. Ideally suited for Read more »
In this third and final article in the series on chip scale atomic clocks, I’d like to share products that have leveraged CSAC’s key attributes and a conclusion. Read more »
These examples offer a view into what the chip-scale era in timekeeping will look like. The SA.45s CSAC delivers the accuracy and stability of an atomic clock to portable applications for the first time — Read more »
As innovative as the CSAC’s design is, most users will gauge its value by its performance benchmarks. In summary, these include the following:Read more »
The SA.45s CSAC employs coherent population trapping (CPT) to interrogate an atomic frequency. A laser illuminates atoms in a resonance cell with polarized radiation at two sidebands separated by the atomic resonance frequency. The atoms are excited Read more »
Pairing Radiation Tolerance with the CSAC’s Low Power and High performance – brings the accuracy and stability of atomic clocks to Commercial Space applications.
