研究目的
To evaluate the systematic frequency shifts and uncertainties of an 171Yb optical lattice clock, improving the uncertainties of key coefficients such as the hyperpolarizability shift and second-order Zeeman shift.
研究成果
The systematic frequency shifts of the Yb lattice clock were evaluated with a total fractional uncertainty of 3.6 × 10^{-16}. Improved coefficients for hyperpolarizability and second-order Zeeman shifts were obtained, which can reduce uncertainties in other Yb clocks. Future work includes reducing trap depth and temperature to lower uncertainties and comparing with Sr lattice clocks.
研究不足
The uncertainty is mainly limited by the lattice-induced light shift and blackbody radiation shift. High trap depth and temperature of atoms in the second-stage MOT contribute to uncertainties. Heat from MOT coils affects temperature measurements, and the model for light shift may not account for atomic temperature variations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
An interleaved measurement scheme was used, alternating stabilization of a clock laser to the atomic transition with different experimental parameters to measure frequency shifts. Theoretical models, including the light shift model by RIKEN, were employed for analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
171Yb atoms were used, trapped and cooled in magneto-optical traps and an optical lattice. Data were collected through frequency measurements and spectroscopy.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes lasers (e.g., ECDL, Ti:S laser, fiber comb), modulators (AOMs), detectors (EMCCD), vacuum chambers, and magnetic field coils. Materials include ytterbium atoms and optical components.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Atoms were loaded from an oven, decelerated, trapped, cooled, spin-polarized, and probed with clock lasers. Frequency shifts were measured by varying parameters like trap depth and magnetic field.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using fitting procedures (e.g., Rabi excitation profile, dispersion line shape), Monte Carlo simulations for uncertainty propagation, and statistical methods to derive coefficients and uncertainties.
