87Sr lattice clock with inaccuracy below 10 -15.

چکیده
Aided by ultrahigh resolution spectroscopy, the overall systematic uncertainty of the 1S0-3P0 clock resonance for lattice-confined 87Sr has been characterized to 9 x 10(-16). This uncertainty is at a level similar to the Cs-fountain primary standard, while the potential stability for the lattice clocks exceeds that of Cs. The absolute frequency of the clock transition has been measured to be 429 228 004 229 874.0(1.1) Hz, where the 2.5 x 10(-15) fractional uncertainty represents the most accurate measurement of a neutral-atom-based optical transition frequency to date.

Precision measurement of fermionic collisions using an 87Sr optical lattice clock with 1 x 10(-16) inaccuracy.
We describe recent progress on the JILA Sr optical frequency standard, which has a systematic uncertainty at the 10(¿16) fractional frequency level. The dominant contributions to the systematic error are from blackbody radiation shifts and collisional shifts. We discuss the blackbody radiation shift and propose measurements and experimental protocols that should reduce its systematic contributi...

The absolute frequency of the S0–P0 clock transition of 87Sr has been measured to be 429 228 004 229 873.65 (37) Hz using lattice-confined atoms, where the fractional uncertainty of 8.6 × 10−16 represents one of the most accurate measurements of an atomic transition frequency to date. After a detailed study of systematic effects, which reduced the total systematic uncertainty of the Sr lattice ...
متن کاملInelastic collisions and density-dependent excitation suppression in a 87Sr optical lattice clock
We observe two-body loss of P0 87Sr atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We measure loss rate coefficients for atomic samples between 1 and 6 μK that are prepared either in a single nuclear-spin sublevel or with equal populations in two sublevels. The measured temperature and nuclear-spin preparation dependence of rate coefficients agree well with calculations and reveal that rat...
متن کاملUltrastable laser with average fractional frequency drift rate below 5 × 10⁻¹⁹/s.
Cryogenic single-crystal optical cavities have the potential to provide high dimensional stability. We have investigated the long-term performance of an ultrastable laser system that is stabilized to a single-crystal silicon cavity operated at 124 K. Utilizing a frequency comb, the laser is compared to a hydrogen maser that is referenced to a primary caesium fountain standard and to the 87Sr op...
متن کاملAn Optical Lattice Clock with Spin-polarized 87Sr Atoms
We present a new evaluation of an Sr optical lattice clock using spin polarized atoms. The frequency of the 1S0 → 3P0 clock transition is found to be 429 228 004 229 873.6 Hz with a fractional accuracy of 2.6 × 10, a value that is comparable to the frequency difference between the various primary standards throughout the world. This measurement is in excellent agreement with a previous one of s...
