Reducing the effect of thermal noise in optical cavities
Sana Amairi, Thomas Legero, Thomas Kessler +4
Thermal noise in optical cavities imposes a severe limitation in the stability of the most advanced frequency standards at a level of a few 10^(-16) (s/t)^(1/2) for long averaging…
A compact and efficient strontium oven for laser-cooling experiments
Marco Schioppo, Nicola Poli, Marco Prevedelli +4
Here we describe a compact and efficient strontium oven well suited for laser-cooling experiments. Novel design solutions allowed us to produce a collimated strontium atomic beam w…
Providing 1E-16 short-term stability of a 1.5 μm laser to optical clocks
C. Hagemann, C. Grebing, T. Kessler +5
We report on transferring 1E-16-level fractional frequency stability of a "master laser" operated at 1.5 μm to a "slave laser" operated at 698 nm, using a femtosecond fiber comb as…
High accuracy correction of blackbody radiation shift in an optical lattice clock
Thomas Middelmann, Stephan Falke, Christian Lisdat +1
We have determined the frequency shift that blackbody radiation is inducing on the S -- P clock transition in strontium. Previously its uncertainty li…
The Space Optical Clocks Project: Development of high-performance transportable and breadboard optical clocks and advanced subsystems
S. Schiller, A. Görlitz, A. Nevsky +28
The use of ultra-precise optical clocks in space ("master clocks") will allow for a range of new applications in the fields of fundamental physics (tests of Einstein's theory of Ge…
Long range transport of ultra cold atoms in a far-detuned 1D optical lattice
Thomas Middelmann, Stephan Falke, Christian Lisdat +1
We present a novel method to transport ultra cold atoms in a focused optical lattice over macroscopic distances of many Rayleigh ranges. With this method ultra cold atoms were tran…
