Accuracy of an Atomic Microwave Power Standard (Conference digest)

Instrumentation and Detectors 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We have studied the accuracy of the atomic microwave power standard. The atoms are cooled and kept in a Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT), then dropped through a terminated transmission line (a rectangular, R-70 type, waveguide). The measurement of the internal atomic state allows an accurate determination of the transmitted microwave power.
