Offering performance that far exceeds best-in-class magnetic cesium devices, the OSA 3300-HP is the industry’s first commercial high-performance optical cesium atomic clock.

The atomic clock used in modern timekeeping uses lasers to manipulate atoms of cesium-133 along a frigid shaft. Then microwaves blast into a huddled bundle of these atoms, and triggers their ...

As the industry’s first high-performance optical cesium atomic clock, the OSA 3300 HP sets new standards for accuracy and stability, while assuring 10 years of operation.

Caesium is having a moment, after being featured in the news recently, as the element in the radioactive capsule that went missing, and was subsequently found, in Western Australia’s outback.
