  • Experimental setup of NTSC SrII optical lattice clock

    • We report the SrII optical lattice clock at the National Time Service Center (NTSC). In this system, a blackbody radiation shield with movable lattice mitigates blackbody radiation shifts through active temperature control. A shallow optical lattice with minimal tunneling minimizes AC Stark shifts. Phase-locked counter-propagating lattice beams and conductive vacuum viewports further reduce systematic uncertainties and a novel initial-state preparation method simplifies the system. Clock transition spectra achieve a linewidth of 2.5 Hz with a 400 ms clock pulse, and self-comparison stability reaches 5.1 × 10−16 at 1 s. These advancements give this clock the potential to be a critical platform for realizing outstanding systematic uncertainties in the future.
