Recent theoretical calculations suggest that the short-term stability of rubidium, atomic, gas-cell frequency standards could be improved by several orders of magnitude if diode lasers were used for optical pumping. Moreover, the theoretical results predict that rubidium, as opposed to cesium, is the best alkali atom to choose for gas cell atomic clock operation. This paper describes strategies for developing such clocks for space applications and as local oscillators for other high-accuracy atomic clocks.
