Hi,
Well, John Kipling who was the program champion for it at NIST got his
award during the IFCS conference. He managed to convince people and also
not back down from goals. It is certainly being looked at continuation
work such as "NIST on a chip" type of applications so more diverse set
of applications.
Otherwise, it's a product which fills in as a low-energy alternative to
OCXOs for applications that need that kind of stability. Thinking of it
as a Cesium is going about it in the wrong order, there is no absolute
reference here, it's just a stable oscillator using a different but
compact gas-cell physics package happening to use Cesium. You have
wall-shift, buffert-gas-shift etc. like any other gas-cell.
Cheers,
Magnus

List,
Several years ago we were enthralled by the NIST designed Cs that still needed
cal once in a while.
It was listed for sale IIRC for $1400 or so.
Since then it has seemed to have fallen off of the radar screen.
Does anyone have any follow-up info?
Regards,
Perrier
