Mixed Signal Devices has announced its next-generation clock and timing portfolio. This new lineup introduces ...

New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS technology.

If needed, the system can “rescue” a disrupted crystal by cooling it, reforming its shape, or breaking apart molecules formed during background gas collisions. Taming the laser: how the clock ...

The LN-CSAC combines the benefits of a crystal oscillator and an atomic clock in a single compact device. The EMXO offers low-phase noise at 10 Hz < -120 dBc/Hz and Allan Deviation (ADEV) stability ...

For this purpose, this new ion crystal clock was compared with other optical clocks and a new accuracy record was achieved. The PTB researchers report their in Physical Review Letters. An undisturbed ...

In 2001, physicist Ekkehard Peik first became excited about building a nuclear clock based on the nuclear pulse of thorium-229, a radioactive by-product of the decay of uranium-233. “We were ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's new cesium fountain clock is one of the most precise atomic clocks ever ...

This year, scientists made rapid strides toward constructing humanity’s most accurate timepiece yet: the nuclear clock ... of the laser excitation inside a crystal’s atomic nucleus.
