Description

A sample of laser cooled atoms are created inside an additively manufactured loop-gap microwave cavity using a grating magneto-optic trap. Using a Ramsey excitation scheme with free evolution times of up to 10 ms and based on the 87Rb ground-state clock transition we demonstrate this setup as a viable route forward for a miniaturised atomic clock.
