Precise measurement of 171Yb magnetic constants for 1S0–3P0 clock transition

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/aca14e

Abstract We present a precise measurement of

^{171}

Yb magnetic constants for

^{1} S_{0}

-

^{3} P_{0}

clock transition. The background magnetic field is firstly compensated to

< 1

m G s

(1

G s = 10^{- 4}

T) through measuring the splitting of two

π

transitins of

^{171}

Yb clock transition at different compensation coils currents. Then, the splitting ratios of the

π

and

σ

components of

^{171}

Yb clock transition at different bias magnetic fields are measured, and the first-order Zeeman coefficient is determined to be

α = 199.49 (5)

H z / G s

. The second-order Zeeman shifts at various bias magnetic fields are also measured through interleaved self-comparison in which the bias magnetic fields are modulated between high and low values. The second-order Zeeman coefficient is fitted to be

β = - 6.09 (3)

H z / m T^{2}

, which is consistent with the result of NIST group.
