Direct comparisons of European primary and secondary frequency standards via satellite techniques

F. Riedel, A. Al-Masoudi, E. Benkler +46

We carried out a 26-day comparison of five simultaneously operated optical clocks and six atomic fountain clocks located at INRIM, LNE-SYRTE, NPL and PTB by using two satellite-bas…

Analysis of thermal radiation in ion traps for optical frequency standards

Miroslav Doležal, Petr Balling, Peter B R Nisbet-Jones +16

In many of the high-precision optical frequency standards with trapped atoms or ions that are under development to date, the AC Stark shift induced by thermal radiation leads to a…

Modified hyper-Ramsey methods for the elimination of probe shifts in optical clocks

R. Hobson, W. Bowden, S. A. King +3

We develop a method of modified hyper-Ramsey spectroscopy in optical clocks, achieving complete immunity to the frequency shifts induced by the probing fields themselves. Using par…

A Single-Ion Trap with Minimized Ion-Environment Interactions

P. B. R. Nisbet-Jones, S. A. King, J. M. Jones +6

We present a new single-ion endcap trap for high precision spectroscopy that has been designed to minimize ion-environment interactions. We describe the design in detail and then c…

Frequency comparison of Yb ion optical clocks at PTB and NPL via GPS PPP

J. Leute, N. Huntemann, B. Lipphardt +11

We used Precise Point Positioning, a well-established GPS carrier-phase frequency transfer method to perform a direct remote comparison of two optical frequency standards based on…

Frequency ratio of two optical clock transitions in Yb and constraints on the time-variation of fundamental constants

R. M. Godun, P. B. R. Nisbet-Jones, J. M. Jones +7

Singly-ionized ytterbium, with ultra-narrow optical clock transitions at 467 nm and 436 nm, is a convenient system for the realization of optical atomic clocks and tests of present…
