Certainly would be cheaper and more long lived also. But isn't that essentially what they have done ? The Rb-lamp-filter thing has been beaten to death. Its not like people have not researched it in the last 50 years, but nobody anywhere have found a way to get rid of the Rb/glass absorption related aging or the pressure-sensitivity for that matter, so 5065 performance pretty much is the best you can ever hope for there as long as your customers are terrestial. Given that these two cold-Rb devices are 1st generation of their kind and given how little time they have had to collect data on them yet, both with respect to performance but also day-to-day gremlin-wrangling, I wouldnt be at all surprised if the next two generations of that concept delivers almost two orders of magnitude improved performance. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
