Abstract

We demonstrate a one-dimensional optical lattice clock with ultracold 171 Yb atoms, which is free from the linear Zeeman effect. The absolute frequency of the 1 S 0 ( F = 1/2)– 3 P 0 ( F = 1/2) clock transition in 171 Yb is determined to be 518 295 836 590 864(28) Hz with respect to the SI second.

Improved Frequency Measurement of a One-Dimensional Optical Lattice Clock with a Spin-Polarized Fermionic87Sr Isotope

Masao Takamoto, Feng-Lei Hong, Ryoichi Higashi +3 more

We demonstrate a one-dimensional optical lattice clock with a spin-polarized fermionic isotope designed to realize a collision-shift-free atomic clock with neutral atom ensembles. To reduce systematic uncertainties, we developed both Zeeman shift and vector light-shift cancellation techniques. By introducing both an H-maser and a Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier phase link, the absolute frequency of the $^1S_0(F=9/2) - {}^3P_0(F=9/2)$ clock transition of the $^{87}$Sr optical lattice clock is determined as 429,228,004,229,875(4) Hz, where the uncertainty is mainly limited by that of the frequency link. The result indicates that the Sr lattice clock will play an important role in the scope of the redefinition of the ``second'' by optical frequency standards.

Hertz-Level Clock Spectroscopy of 171 Yb Atoms in a One-Dimensional Optical Lattice

Meng-Jiao Zhang, Hui Liu, Xi Zhang +4 more

An ultra-narrow spectroscopy of clock transition with high signal-to-noise ratio is crucial for a high-performance atomic optical clock. We present a detailed study about how to obtain a Hertz-level clock transition spectrum of 171 Yb atoms. About 4 × 10 4 atoms are loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice with a magic wavelength of 759 nm, and a long lifetime of 3 s is realized with the lattice power of 1 W. Through normalized shelving detection and spin polarization, 171 Yb clock spectroscopy with a Fourier-limited linewidth of 5.9 Hz is obtained. Our work represents a key step toward an ytterbium optical clock with high frequency stability.
