We describe the development and latest results of an optical lattice clock based on neutral Yb atoms, including investigations based on both even and odd isotopes. We report a fractional frequency uncertainty below 10-15 for 171Yb.

We report the current status of our ytterbium optical lattice clock at the NMIJ, AIST. After the first measurement of the clock transition frequency and the estimation of the uncertainty, we have been improving our clock. For an increased signal to noise ratio of the observed spectrum, we employed an atom number normalization scheme. We stabilized the frequency of the lattice laser using a fiber-based optical frequency comb. We also stabilized the intensity of the lattice laser.

We have developed a one-dimensional optical lattice clock using a fermionic isotope of ytterbium (171Yb). The absolute frequency of the 1S0 − 3P0 clock transition in 171Yb is determined with respect to the SI second.
