Direct comparison of optical lattice clocks with an intercontinental baseline of 9000 km

Hidekazu Hachisu, Miho Fujieda, Shinnosuke Nagano +9 more

We have demonstrated a direct frequency comparison between two ⁸⁷Sr lattice clocks operated in intercontinentally separated laboratories in real time. Two-way satellite time and frequency transfer technique, based on the carrier-phase, was employed for a direct comparison, with a baseline of 9000 km between Japan and Germany. A frequency comparison was achieved for 83,640 s, resulting in a fractional difference of (1.1±1.6)×10⁻¹⁵, where the statistical part is the largest contributor to the uncertainty. This measurement directly confirms the agreement of the two optical frequency standards on an intercontinental scale.
