External-Field Shifts of the 199Hg+ Optical Frequency Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
Frequency shifts of the (199)Hg(+) 5d (10)6s (2)S1/2 (F = 0, MF = 0) to 5d (9)6s (2 2)D5/2 (F = 2, MF = 0) electric-quadrupole transition at 282 nm due to external fields are calculated, based on a combination of measured atomic parameters and ab initio calculations. This transition is under investigation as an optical frequency standard. The perturbations calculated are the quadratic Zeeman shift, the scalar and tensor quadratic Stark shifts, and the interaction between an external electric field gradient and the atomic quadrupole moment. The quadrupole shift is likely to be the most difficult to evaluate in a frequency standard and may have a magnitude of about 1 Hz for a single ion in a Paul trap.

متن کاملOptical frequency standards based on the 199Hg+ ion
We report on work directed toward the systematic evaluation of an optical frequency standard based on the 2 1 25 2 transition of a single, laser-cooled, trapped Hg + ion, whose resonance frequency is 1.06 10Hz. For the purpose of the evaluation, a second 199Hg standard has been constructed. In the cooling-laser system built for the second standard, an injection-locking scheme has been applied t...
متن کاملThe 199 Hg + single ion optical clock : recent progress
We report on work directed toward the systematic evaluation of an optical frequency standard based on the S1/2–D5/2 transition of a single, laser-cooled, trapped 199Hg+ ion, whose resonance frequency is 1.06 × 1015 Hz. For the purpose of the evaluation, two 199Hg+ standards have been constructed. In the cooling-laser system built for the second standard, an injection-locking scheme has been app...
متن کاملAn optical clock based on a single trapped 199Hg+ ion.
Microwave atomic clocks have been the de facto standards for precision time and frequency metrology over the past 50 years, finding widespread use in basic scientific studies, communications, and navigation. However, with its higher operating frequency, an atomic clock based on an optical transition can be much more stable. We demonstrate an all-optical atomic clock referenced to the 1.064-peta...
متن کاملElectronic and Optical Properties of the Graphene and Boron Nitride Nanoribbons in Presence of the Electric Field
Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...
