Abstract
We first described an all-cryogenic oscillator system at the 1982 Applied Superconductivity Conference in Knoxville. This oscillator consists of a ruby cavity maser stabilized by a high-Q superconductor-on-sapphire resonator. The maser provides gain with very low noise and small power dissipation, while the sapphire substrate's thermal coefficient of expansion is 100 times smaller than that of superconducting metals. Having tested the major components and proved them satisfactory to the design, we have now assembled the first such oscillator and tested its performance in several preliminary configurations. The results of stability tests in a more advanced configuration will be reported. We shall describe this oscillator and shall report on its performance as a high-stability frequency source.
