Abstract
During the course of the last year I have been working on several components that will be used in a next-generation atomic frequency standard, or atomic clock. Some of the projects that I have been working on include building a temperature controller for a laser diode head, aligning a single mode optical fiber to transfer resonant laser light across our lab, designing and implementing a scheme to bake out our vacuum chamber, testing the coatings of our precision optics, and aligning and characterizing a thermal atomic beam source.
