A strontium optical lattice clock with uncertainty and measurement of its absolute frequency
Richard Hobson, William Bowden, Alissa Silva +5
We present a measurement of the absolute frequency of the 5s S to 5s5p P transition in Sr, which is a secondary representation of the SI second. We descr…

A pyramid MOT with integrated optical cavities as a cold atom platform for an optical lattice clock
William Bowden, Richard Hobson, Ian R. Hill +6
We realize a two-stage, hexagonal pyramid magneto-optical trap (MOT) with strontium, and demonstrate loading of cold atoms into cavity-enhanced 1D and 2D optical lattice traps, all…
