Parametric oscillators are a type of driven harmonic oscillator that are based on a nonlinear process in a resonant cavity, which are widely used in various areas of physics. In the past, parametric ...

A greatly simplified block diagram of an atomic frequency standard (also called an atomic clock) is shown in Figure 2.1. This consists of an atomic resonator, a local oscillator, and additional ...
