摘要
The authors report on the development of a sapphire cryogenic microwave resonator oscillator with long-term fractional frequency stability of 2x10(-17)root tau for integration times tau>10(3) s and a negative drift of about 2.2x10(-15)/day. The short-term frequency instability of the oscillator is highly reproducible and also state of the art: 5.6x10(-16) for an integration time of tau approximate to 20 s.
