Compensation of Field-Induced Frequency Shifts in Ramsey Spectroscopy of Optical Clock Transitions
A. V. Taichenachev, V. I. Yudin, C. W. Oates +6
We have extended Ramsey spectroscopy by stepping the probe frequency during the two Ramsey excitation pulses to compensate frequency shifts induced by the excitation itself. This m…
Comparison of 87Rb N-resonances for D1 and D2 transitions
Irina Novikova, David F. Phillips, Alexander S. Zibrov +3
We report an experimental comparison of three-photon-absorption resonances (known as "N-resonances") for the D_1 and D_2 optical transitions of thermal 87Rb vapor. We find that the…
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…
Cancellation of light-shifts in an N-resonance clock
Irina Novikova, Alexei V. Taichenachev, Valery I. Yudin +3
We demonstrate that first-order light-shifts can be cancelled for an all-optical, three-photon-absorption resonance ("N-resonance") on the D1 transition of Rb87. This light-shift c…
A novel absorption resonance for all-optical atomic clocks
Sergei Zibrov, Irina Novikova, David F. Phillips +4
We report an experimental study of an all-optical three-photon-absorption resonance (known as a "N-resonance") and discuss its potential application as an alternative to atomic clo…
On the stability of optical lattices
G. Di Domenico, N. Castagna, M. D. Plimmer +3
In this article, we present an analysis of the stability of optical lattices. Starting with the study of an unstable optical lattice, we establish a necessary and sufficient condit…
