Laser locking to the 199Hg clock transition with 5.4x10^(-15)/sqrt(tau) fractional frequency instability

J. J. McFerran, D. V. Magalhaes, C. Mandache +5

With Hg atoms confined in an optical lattice trap in the Lamb-Dicke regime, we obtain a spectral line at 265.6 nm in which the full-width at half-maximum is <15Hz. Here we lock an…

An Ultra-Stable Referenced Interrogation System in the Deep Ultraviolet for a Mercury Optical Lattice Clock

S. T. Dawkins, R. Chicireanu, M. Petersen +5

We have developed an ultra-stable source in the deep ultraviolet, suitable to fulfill the interrogation requirements of a future fully-operational lattice clock based on neutral me…

Ultrastable lasers based on vibration insensitive cavities

J. Millo, D. V. Magalhaes, C. Mandache +7

We present two ultra-stable lasers based on two vibration insensitive cavity designs, one with vertical optical axis geometry, the other horizontal. Ultra-stable cavities are const…

Doppler-free spectroscopy of the 1S0-3P0 optical clock transition in laser-cooled fermionic isotopes of neutral mercury

M. Petersen, R. Chicireanu, S. T. Dawkins +5

We have performed for the first time direct laser spectroscopy of the 1S0-3P0 optical clock transition at 265.6 nm in fermionic isotopes of neutral mercury laser-cooled in a magnet…

A Search for Variations of Fundamental Constants using Atomic Fountain Clocks

H. Marion, F. Pereira Dos Santos, M. Abgrall +12

Over five years we have compared the hyperfine frequencies of 133Cs and 87Rb atoms in their electronic ground state using several laser cooled 133Cs and 87Rb atomic fountains with…
