Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated frequency referencing system. The integrated frequency referencing control system comprises inter alia a substrate and an optical pathway being integrated on the substrate and being configured and operable to enable propagation for light signals. The optical pathway comprises an electro-optic modulator structure being configured and operable to impart a unique identification modulation to at least one input optical signal emitted by the light source, at least one optical dielectric waveguide being configured and operable to enable confinement and propagation of the at least one input modulated optical signal therethrough, and an atomic vapor cell accommodating atoms or molecules providing at least one atomic or molecular transition.
