Atomic clocks have been beautiful for decades. Research is dependent on the path to a higher price than a single step.

The Technische Universität Wien, together with international partners, has presented the first Atomkern-Uhr der Welt-presenter. If one of the middle wars is lost, an atomic nucleus is animated with a laser from one position to another position – an effect that is useful for the highest messages. Through the combination of the Forscher team, a high-optical atom with a high-energy laser system and a couple that amplifies the Thorium atomic nucleus with a crystal.

Although the Atomkern-Uhr is sweet, the price is higher than an Atomuhr, i.e. the Forscher. It’s a matter of writing in the wrong place. “With the first prototype, it is now clear: Man can use Thorium as a tool for ultra-high-performance messaging, the rest is technical engineering work, both small and large obstacles are more visible,” said Thorsten Schumm from TU Wien. There is talk of the Forscherteam, the Durchbruch dependent.

The sign is a laser beam

Do you have a function in performing a treatment? There is a pendulum or a useless solution for the electromagnetic waves of Schwingen. The device is then radiated by the laser beams. If the frequency of lasers on the time duration becomes a little higher, then the frequency can be adjusted. “Because of this, one additionally requires a quantum system to the laser, which reacts exceptionally well to a completely defined laser frequency”, says Schumm. It is possible to use Cäsium or Strontium Atom. If one of the best frequencies is hit with laser light, then the electronic devices will change the amount of the amount that is on her, the longer it will be. That can be a man messenger.

The nucleus of the atoms became smaller every day as the atoms and the reactions became more grim in the air. An atomic nucleus has a great influence on its energy and energy when the photons and lasers work. The only thing that can be used is Thorium. “Thorium nucleus has two supporting very strong energy, soft drink that can be switched with lasers”, so Schumm. “That is the case, one must know the energy difference between these two supporting elements but very well. We look long at the world of life after the energy difference has arisen, a Thorium nucleus is one of the first things that were published in April.”

Von der Atomuhr zur Atomkern-Uhr

Let the Research project form an atomic with laser light in infrared radiation, an acid strontium atom. Thorium nucleus however requires radiation in UV range. It takes a long time to set a high temperature of infrared frequencies to UV frequencies. If you use ultrafast infrared laser pulses, you can use an unused infrared frequency. The distance between two reachable frequencies is always equal. The infrared light works on xenon gas. The atom dares to react to the light, but it is very accurate to display the Weise UV light production. The UV light is displayed in a winzig crystal clear way, illuminating the thorium atom nucleus. “This crystal is certainly the heart of the experiment”, says Schumm. “There was a time in Vienna at the production of the Atominstitut, many years ago there was no more knowledge, a knowledge that did not exist.”

So stand on the world’s first nuclear clock. A nice quote is the first prototype that has not yet been made. “There is more and more new technology coming along. If the first time is that the quality is determined then all by itself, the war will be like that”, Schumm said. “We are right, on this way the best atomic clocks in 2-3 years to überholen”.
