Modernization of the optical part of the quantum frequency standard based on rubidium-87 atoms to improve its metrological characteristics

The article substantiates the need to develop directions related to quantum frequency standards with optical pumping based on rubidium-87 atoms. The main disadvantages of the current design of a quantum frequency standard based on rubidium-87 atoms are considered. A solution is proposed to improve the design of the rubidium standard. A forecast is made to improve the metrological characteristics of a quantum frequency standard based on rubidium-87 atoms with a new design of the optical part.
