Paper on a SABR-CPT microcell atomic clock published

My Scientific Reports paper demonstrates a SABR-CPT microcell atomic clock driven by direct VCSEL current modulation and FPGA control, reaching 101210^{-12} range stability at one day (among the best reported performance for microcell-based CPT clocks). Notably, it is the first to reach this level without an external AOM or optical- and microwave-power stabilization servo loops.
