Dual-Mode Operation of an Optical Lattice Clock Using Strontium and Ytterbium Atoms

Daisuke Akamatsu, Takumi Kobayashi, Yusuke Hisai +4

We have developed an optical lattice clock that can operate in dual modes: a strontium (Sr) clock mode and an ytterbium (Yb) clock mode. Dual-mode operation of the Sr-Yb optical la…
