    Abstract: In one example, a system includes a first sealed container, a second sealed container, a signal coupler, a container enclosure, and an electromagnetic (EM) reflective coating. The first sealed container encloses a first dipolar gas. The second sealed container encloses a second dipolar gas. The signal coupler is communicatively coupled between the first and second sealed containers. The signal coupler includes a solid material or a hollow sealed tube. The container enclosure encloses the first and second sealed containers and the signal coupler. The EM reflective coating is inside the container enclosure and covers at least part of the first container, at least part of the second container, and at least part of the signal coupler.

    Abstract: In one example, a method includes placing a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate in a chamber. The first glass substrate has a first surface and the second glass substrate has a second surface. The first glass substrate and the second glass substrate are brought together in the chamber to form a junction between the first and second surfaces. The junction is sealed to form a glass container that encases a dipolar gas when the chamber is filled with the dipolar gas. An EM reflective coating is formed on an outer surface of the glass container.

    Abstract: A millimeter wave molecular sensor system is provided. The system includes a physics cell configured to contain a sample, a directional coupler configured to receive input millimeter waves, partition the input millimeter waves into a pump signal and a probe signal for transfer to the physics cell, a receiver configured to receive millimeter waves exiting the physics cell, a Faraday rotator coupled between a pump transmitter and the physics cell, and a coupling iris coupled between the Faraday rotator and the physics cell, configured to pass millimeter waves having a first polarization into the physics cell. The Faraday rotator includes a Faraday material, and an electronic device configured to apply a magnetic field to the Faraday material parallel to a propagation direction of the millimeter waves such that when the electronic device is activated, the Faraday material rotates a polarization of the millimeter waves passing through the Faraday rotator.

    Abstract: A chip scale vapor cell and millimeter wave atomic clock apparatus are disclosed. The chip scale vapor cell includes a first substrate and a second substrate bonded to the first substrate with a bonding material. A primary hermetic cavity includes a first bottom wall and first sidewalls formed in the first substrate and a first top wall formed by the lower surface of the second substrate. A secondary hermetic cavity includes a second bottom wall and second sidewalls formed in the first substrate and a second top wall formed by the lower surface of the second substrate. The secondary hermetic cavity is separate from the primary hermetic cavity and surrounds the perimeter of the primary hermetic cavity. A gas, which can be a dipolar molecular gas, is sealed in the primary hermetic cavity and the secondary hermetic cavity at a given initial pressure.
