Abstract

We demonstrate the reduction of residual Doppler shifts for a laser-cooled neutral atom optical frequency standard to near negligible levels through use of second-stage laser cooling and atom interferometry. For the NIST Ca optical clock, this opens up the possibility for uncertainties of less than 1 part in 1016

Ultracold atoms and precise time standards

Gretchen K. Campbell, William D. Phillips

Experimental techniques of laser cooling and trapping, along with other cooling techniques, have produced gaseous samples of atoms so cold that they are, for many practical purposes, in the quantum ground state of their centre-of-mass motion. Such low velocities have virtually eliminated effects such as Doppler shifts, relativistic time dilation and observation-time broadening that previously limited the performance of atomic frequency standards. Today, the best laser-cooled, caesium atomic fountain, microwave frequency standards realize the International System of Units (SI) definition of the second to a relative accuracy of ≈3×10(-16). Optical frequency standards, which do not realize the SI second, have even better performance: cold neutral atoms trapped in optical lattices now yield relative systematic uncertainties of ≈1×10(-16), whereas cold-trapped ions have systematic uncertainties of 9×10(-18). We will discuss the current limitations in the performance of neutral atom atomic frequency standards and prospects for the future.

Optical Clock with Ultracold Neutral Atoms

We demonstrate how to realize an optical clock with neutral atoms that is competitive to the currently best single ion optical clocks in accuracy and superior in stability. Using ultracold atoms in a Ca optical frequency standard, we show how to reduce the relative uncertainty to below 10(-15). We observed atom interferences for stabilization of the laser to the clock transition with a visibility of 0.36, which is 70% of the ultimate limit achievable with atoms at rest. A novel scheme was applied to detect these atom interferences with the prospect to reach the quantum projection noise limit at an exceptional low instability of 4 x 10(-17) in 1 s.

Calcium optical frequency standard

F. Riehle, H. Schnatz, B. Lipphardt +5 more

A laser that is frequency stabilized to the intercombination transition at (lambda) equals 657 nm of laser cooled 40Ca atoms by means of time-domain atom interferences has been developed at PTB. The relative uncertainty of this optical frequency standard is 2.5 X 10-13 and the frequency of the laser has been measured with both, a conventional frequency measurement chain and a femtosecond laser. To reduce the uncertainty of this standard the dependence of its frequency on various parameters was investigated by using phase sensitive and frequency sensitive atom interferometers. Upper bounds were derived for various contributions to the uncertainty as e.g. the influence of gravitational acceleration, collisions of the ballistic atoms, or curvature of the wave fronts of the interrogating laser beams. Further reduction of the uncertainty of the standard is expected from the application of sub-Doppler cooling techniques. A method was devised based on the narrow intercombination transition that enabled us to reduce the velocity spread of the Ca atoms in one dimension close to the recoil limit. The method uses the repeated selection and accumulation of slow atoms from the pre-cooled atomic cloud and the repeated rethermalization of the remaining atoms and results in an increased visibility of the interference structure.

Improvements to a Strontium Optical Lattice Clock

Rees L. McNally

In 2013, for the first time ever, a many-atom optical lattice clock surpassed single ion clocks as the most stable, and accurate frequency standard in existence. Since this first result, continued improvements to the clock's accuracy and stability have been made. This work will focus on two of these major improvements. Firstly the frequency uncertainty was brought down to 2.5*10^-18, thanks in part to an accurate determination of the black body radiation shift, based on better characterization of the level structure of 87Sr. Secondly, a control modification will be demonstrated which provides 20% reduction in the standard deviation for the clock's frequency under differential measurement schemes. This represents a new record for clock accuracy, pushing performance towards the 10^-19 level.

Realization of advanced 171Yb optical lattice frequency standard

Gianmaria Milani

Atomic clocks constitute a fundamental tool for time and frequency metrology and their application is widespread in many technological fields. In particular, the International System of units (SI) defines the second on a microwave transition of Caesium atoms. The realization is made by clocks reaching uncertainties of few parts in 10^−16, making the second to be the quantity realized with the smallest uncertainty in the SI. However, a new generation of atomic clocks, called optical clocks, have already demonstrated to surpass Caesium standards both in accuracy and stability. The research performed during my PhD activity has been focused on the development and characterization of Ytterbium (Yb) optical lattice clocks. These systems operate with a large number of ultra-cold neutral atoms having a clock transition in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The atomic sample is trapped in an periodical optical potential called optical lattice that gives the advantage to interrogate many quantum absorbers for an extended time, with small perturbations, allowing to achieve an unprecedented stability and accuracy. The main experimental work has been carried out in the laboratories of the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) in Turin, where several atomic clocks are present including the Italian primary frequency standard, the Caesium fountain ITCsF2, and where an Yb optical lattice clock is currently being developed. This thesis describes the functioning of the system along with the full characterization of systematic effects, the complete uncertainty budget and its first absolute frequency measurement against the primary frequency standard. The clock exhibited an accuracy of 1.6 × 10^−16 and the comparison with the Cs fountain resulted in a frequency of f171Yb = 518 295 836 590 863.59(31) Hz, limited by the fountain uncertainty. This measurement is in agreement with the ytterbium frequency recommended as a secondary representation of the second in the SI and constitutes the first measurement of a Yb clock in Europe and the second one in the world against a primary frequency standard. Several upgrades have been applied after the absolute measurement. In particular, the design and realization a system capable to frequency stabilize several lasers on a single optical cavity is illustrated. This cavity has been implemented to lock the lasers used to cool and trap the atomic sample at 399, 556 and 759nm using the offset sideband locking technique, a modified version of the Pound–Drever–Hall method that gives an extended frequency tunability. The system proved to be an easy-to-use and reliable tool for the experimental activity showing a linewidth below 300 Hz at 556nm, which is the wavelength that requires the most stringent performance, and a long term drift below 20 kHz per day at 759nm. That is suitable for operating the lattice laser with a light shift uncertainty below 1 × 10−18. During my PhD I have been guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of Boulder, Colorado, for nine months in 2016. In these laboratories two Yb optical lattice clocks are operative. I worked on the instability measurement of a composite system exploiting the two clocks to suppress the Dick effect, called zero-dead-time (ZDT) clock, which demonstrated a fractional instability of 3 × 10−17 at 1s. The two clocks can also be operated to extend the interrogation time obtaining a spectroscopic feature after 4 s of 120(20)mHz corresponding to a quality factor Q > 4 × 10^15. I also worked on the characterization of several systematic shifts that allowed to complete the uncertainty budget of the clocks at 1.6 × 10^−18. In particular, I contributed to the characterization of lattice light shifts considering the effect of atomic sample temperature and the identification of a metrological regime called operational magic frequency where frequency shifts are insensitive to changes in trap depth.
