摘要:

我们提出了一个可移动的光学时钟(TOC)与$^{87}$ Sr。其完整的表征对一个固定的晶格时钟导致了系统的不确定性${7.4 \times 10^{-17}}$,这是目前有限的剩余晶格光移的测定的统计。测量结果证实,系统不确定性可降低至低于$1 \times 10^{-17}$的设计目标。TOC的不稳定性为$1.3 \times 10^{-15}/\sqrt{(τ/s)}$。据我们所知,系统的不确定性和不稳定性是目前任何类型的可移动时钟所能达到的最好的。对于自动操作,TOC安装在空调汽车拖车中。它适用于亚米级分辨率的精密水准测量以及国际间光学钟的交联,这对SI秒的重新定义至关重要。此外,TOC将用于基础科学的高精度实验,这些实验通常与精确的频率测量有关,这是空间光学时钟的第一步

英文摘要:

We present a transportable optical clock (TOC) with $^{87}$Sr. Its complete characterization against a stationary lattice clock resulted in a systematic uncertainty of ${7.4 \times 10^{-17}}$ which is currently limited by the statistics of the determination of the residual lattice light shift. The measurements confirm that the systematic uncertainty is reduceable to below the design goal of $1 \times 10^{-17}$. The instability of our TOC is $1.3 \times 10^{-15}/\sqrt{(τ/s)}$. Both, the systematic uncertainty and the instability are to our best knowledge currently the best achieved with any type of transportable clock. For autonomous operation the TOC is installed in an air-conditioned car-trailer. It is suitable for chronometric leveling with sub-meter resolution as well as intercontinental cross-linking of optical clocks, which is essential for a redefiniton of the SI second. In addition, the TOC will be used for high precision experiments for fundamental science that are commonly tied to precise frequency measurements and it is a first step to space borne optical clocks
