摘要:

单离化镱在467 nm和436 nm处具有超窄的光钟跃迁,是实现光学原子钟和测量现代基本常数变化的方便系统。我们提出了这两个时钟转换的频率比的第一个直接测量,没有参考铯的主要标准,并使用相同的单离子171 Yb+。还列出了两种跃迁的绝对频率,每个跃迁的相对标准不确定度为$6\times 10^{-16}$。结合我们的结果与其他实验,我们报告了一个三倍的改进约束的时间变化的质子-电子质量比,$\dotμ/μ = 0.2(1.1)\times 10^{-16}$年$^{-1}$,随着时间变化的精细结构常数,$\dotα/α = -0.7(2.1)\times 10^{-17}$年$^{-1}$的改进约束。

英文摘要:

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-day variation of fundamental constants. We present the first direct measurement of the frequency ratio of these two clock transitions, without reference to a cesium primary standard, and using the same single ion of 171Yb+. The absolute frequencies of both transitions are also presented, each with a relative standard uncertainty of $6\times 10^{-16}$. Combining our results with those from other experiments, we report a three-fold improvement in the constraint on the time-variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio, $\dotμ/μ = 0.2(1.1)\times 10^{-16}$ year$^{-1}$, along with an improved constraint on time-variation of the fine structure constant, $\dotα/α = -0.7(2.1)\times 10^{-17}$ year$^{-1}$.
