Research Abstract |
In order to reduce the uncertainty of the ytterbium (Yb) optical lattice clock due to the optical lattice laser, we tried to search for the blue-detuned magic wavelength of Yb and obtained the following results; 1: We have succeeded in improving our Yb optical lattice clock, reducing the uncertainty to 1/10 of that of our 2009 measurement, which led to the adaption of the Yb optical lattice clock as one of the secondary representation of the second. 2: We have succeeded in measuring the frequency ratio of the Yb and Sr optical lattice clocks by directly comparing the optical frequencies by an optical frequency comb, which allows us to measure the light shift frequency with ten times smaller integration time compared to the measurement with a microwave frequency standard. 3: We have developed a blue laser source for inducing the light shift to the clock transition of Yb. We have obtained the 100 mW of 399 nm laser by a second harmonic generation of the amplified infrared laser diode.
