Improved absolute frequency measurement of the strontium ion clock using a GPS link to the SI second

Bin Jian et al.

Summary: We have improved the absolute frequency measurement of a single trapped strontium ion's 5s2S1/2-4d2D5/2 optical transition using a Global Positioning System (GPS) link to the SI second. The systematic uncertainty of the optical clock has been reduced from 1.5 x 10(-17) to 1.2 x 10(-17) compared to previous measurements. The traceability to the SI second through International Atomic Time was achieved using a GPS link and the Precise Point Positioning method. The measured frequency of the 88Sr+ ion 5s2S1/2-4d2D5/2 transition is 444779044095485.49(19) Hz, with the uncertainty reduced by almost a factor of four compared to previous measurements.

Liquid-Nitrogen-Cooled Ca+ Optical Clock with Systematic Uncertainty of 3 x 10-18

Yao Huang et al.

Summary: This article presents a liquid-nitrogen-cooled Ca+ optical clock with improved systematic uncertainty, ion temperature, and servo error. By comparing it with a room-temperature clock, the differential BBR shift between the two is determined and found to be in good agreement with previous measurements. This work suggests that the BBR shift of optical clocks can be effectively suppressed in a liquid-nitrogen environment.

Vibration Property of a Cryogenic Optical Resonator within a Pulse-Tube Cryostat

Yanxia Ye et al.

Summary: The analysis of vibrational noise contribution to laser frequency in cryogenic ultrastable laser cavities has paved the way for in situ accurate evaluation of vibrational noise in cryogenic systems. The vibration sensitivities change at different excitation frequencies, contributing to a frequency stability of 1.3x10(-15) in a homemade 6 cm sapphire optical resonator cooled to 3.4 K. This research may also assist in cryostat design and cryogenic precision measurements.
