INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT- OF GAS COLLISIONS AND OPTICAL PUMPING CM THE BREADTH OF SPECTRAL LINES Microwave Atomic Oscillator Using the Hyperfine Transition of Rb 87 8th Quarterly Report (March 1, 1957 - May 30, 1957)

摘要

This is a final report, describing the completion of the first phase of the subject contract. The work of this phase was a study of the collision narrowed rubidium hyperfine transition, making use of a microwave detection system for observing the resonance line. During the second phase, optical detection techniques will be studied.
