Abstract
Recent experimental work1 has demonstrated that a microwave oscillator can be stabilized using a stimulated-resonance Raman transition in a sodium atomic beam. This Raman technique is of interest because optical lasers rather than microwaves are used in the interaction, and, aside from fundamental interest, the greater flexibility of optical systems may make it possible eventually to develop more-stable and moreportable atomic clocks.
