| Zusammenfassung: | We report on the measurement of an anomalously large temperature sensitivity of the clock frequency in a Rb cell with buffer gas. The effect is observed in a prototype of pulsed optically pumped frequency standard which allows high resolution measurements because of its frequency stability at the level 1.7 × 10(-13) for 1 s of measurement time. We attribute this phenomenon to the geometry of the interaction and to the presence in the cell of temperature inhomogeneities that may enhance the temperature sensitivity of the clock frequency via the buffer gas pressure coefficient. We also propose some solutions to reduce this unwanted effect that may limit the medium-long-term performances of high-frequency-stability vapor-cell clocks |
