摘要:

实验研究了一种基于171 Yb+离子467 nm(642 THz)电八极参考跃迁2S_(1/2)(F=0)-> F_(7/2)(F=3)的光频标。这种跃迁的特殊性质是由长的自然寿命和高能态的4f 136 s2组态造成的。2F 7/2态的电四极矩测量为-0.041(5)e(a0)^2,其中e是元电荷,a0是玻尔半径。我们还获得的静态极化率和探测光引起的交流斯塔克位移的八极跃迁的微分标量和张量分量的信息。利用实时外推方案消除了这种偏移,实现了未扰动跃迁频率,其分数不确定度为7.1x10^(-17)。频率测量为642 121 496 772 645.15(52)Hz。

英文摘要:

We experimentally investigate an optical frequency standard based on the 467 nm (642 THz) electric-octupole reference transition 2S1/2(F=0) -> F7/2(F=3) in a single trapped 171Yb+ ion. The extraordinary features of this transition result from the long natural lifetime and from the 4f136s2 configuration of the upper state. The electric quadrupole moment of the 2F7/2 state is measured as -0.041(5) e(a0)^2, where e is the elementary charge and a0 the Bohr radius. We also obtain information on the differential scalar and tensorial components of the static polarizability and of the probe light induced ac Stark shift of the octupole transition. With a real-time extrapolation scheme that eliminates this shift, the unperturbed transition frequency is realized with a fractional uncertainty of 7.1x10^(-17). The frequency is measured as 642 121 496 772 645.15(52) Hz.
