The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology in Japan is proceeding with development of an optical frequency standard using an electric quadrupole transition of Ca+ ions in a small radio-frequency trap. The single, trapped 40Ca+ ions are laser cooled to a temperature of <10 mK using extended-cavity diode lasers at 397 nm and 866 nm. In order to measure the electric quadrupole transition, the linewidth of the clock laser diode at 729 nm is reduced to ~66 Hz using an ultra-low-expansion (ULE) cavity. We observed the electric quadrupole transition with a linewidth of ~600 kHz, together with the ionic motional sidebands. We are also developing optical frequency combs without photonic fibers broadening the spectrum. The experimental is now improved in order to observe the narrower linewidth of the quadrupole transition.

Frequency measurement of the40Ca+clock transition using a LD-based clock laser and UTC(NICT)

We developed an optical frequency standard with the 4 2S1/2-3 2D5/2 electric quadrupole transition of 40Ca+ ions. Its absolute transition frequency is 411 042 129 776 390(±7) Hz. The accuracy is limited by the electric quadrupole shift and the ambient magnetic field fluctuation. To determine the absolute transition frequency with a better accuracy, we have observed two pairs of the symmetrically-splitting Zeeman components and measured the transition frequency corrected for the electric quadrupole shift. In addition, we are developing a magnetic-shielded ion-trap chamber to suppress the transition-line broadening caused by the magnetic field fluctuation.
