[time-nuts] Cs jr.

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi,

Well, John Kipling who was the program champion for it at NIST got his 
award during the IFCS conference. He managed to convince people and also 
not back down from goals. It is certainly being looked at continuation 
work such as "NIST on a chip" type of applications so more diverse set 
of applications.

Otherwise, it's a product which fills in as a low-energy alternative to 
OCXOs for applications that need that kind of stability. Thinking of it 
as a Cesium is going about it in the wrong order, there is no absolute 
reference here, it's just a stable oscillator using a different but 
compact gas-cell physics package happening to use Cesium. You have 
wall-shift, buffert-gas-shift etc. like any other gas-cell.

Cheers,
Magnus
