Descriptions are given of (he me(hods of separated and successive oscillatory fields and of the atomic hydrogen maser. Their applications to precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules are discussed along with specific examples of fundamental measurements best made with such devices. The applications of these methods to atomic clocks are discussed. A discussion is also given of fundamental experiments which require highly stable clocks.
