Compact Yb${}^{+}$ optical atomic clock project: design principle and current status

Clément Lacroûte, Maël Souidi, Pierre-Yves Bourgeois +6

We present the design of a compact optical clock based on the ${}^2{S}_{1/2}{\to }^2{D}_{3/2}$ 435.5 nm transition in ${}^{171}$Yb${}^{+}$. The ion trap will be based on a micro-fabrica…
