Direct excitation of the forbidden clock transition in neutral 174Yb atoms confined to an optical lattice
Zeb W. Barber, Chad W. Hoyt, Chris W. Oates +3
We report direct single-laser excitation of the strictly forbidden (6s^2)^1S_0 -(6s6p)^3P_0 clock transition in the even 174Yb isotope confined to a 1D optical lattice. A small (~1…

Magnetic field-induced spectroscopy of forbidden optical transitions with application to lattice-based optical atomic clocks
A. V. Taichenachev, V. I. Yudin, C. W. Oates +3
We develop a method of spectroscopy that uses a weak static magnetic field to enable direct optical excitation of forbidden electric-dipole transitions that are otherwise prohibiti…
