When attempting to miniaturize the cavity, the cavity is filled with gas cells. Therefore, for frequency adjustment, two recesses that are symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the gas cell should be set on the cell wall surface. In addition, a method is adopted in which a projecting portion that penetrates the wall surface of the cavity is projected so that it can appear and disappear. In addition, the method of fixing the rubidium gas cell to the cavity is
An adhesive is injected and fixed between the cavity and the rubidium gas cell.
