摘要：

A simple, compact, low-power physics package for a vapour-cell atomic clock is described. The device measures 6.6 x 1.6 x 1.3 cm and dissipates less than 30 mW of electrical power without thermal control. The instability is 1.3 x 10(-10)/root[tau/(s)] for integration times tau below 100 s. Applications for this device include distributed telecommunications systems, advanced global positioning system (GPS) receivers and laboratory instrumentation.
