Strontium optical lattice clock at the National Time Service Center

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/27/2/023701

Abstract

We report the ⁸⁷Sr optical lattice clock developed at the National Time Service Center. We achieved a closed-loop operation of the optical lattice clock based on ⁸⁷Sr atoms. The linewidth of the spin-polarized clock peak is 3.9 Hz with a clock laser pulse length of 300 ms, which corresponds to a Fourier-limited linewidth of 3 Hz. The fitting of the in-loop error signal data shows that the instability is approximately 5×10^-15τ^-1/2, affected primarily by the white noise. The fractional frequency difference averages down to 5.7×10^-17 for an averaging time of 3000 s.

Keywords: optical clock optical lattice strontium atoms stability
