Chip-scale Active Optical Clock Scheme

In this paper, we propose a chip-scale cesium four-level active optical clock based on a microfabricated atomic vapor cell. This millimeter-scale vapor cell is coated on both ends of the wall, and the coated walls directly construct the optical resonator. The microfabricated atomic vapor cell is also used to stabilize the frequency of the pump laser, to further reduce the influence of light shift caused by the frequency-stabilized pump laser on the linewidth of active optical frequency standard signal. We make a theoretical analysis and design an experimental scheme. The chip-scale active optical clock with small size and high performance has wide application in precision measurement and detection, and other fields, and it will aid to promote the definition of time unit second based on the optical clock.
