چکیده
We report the theoretical evaluations of the static scalar polarizability of the 133Cs ground state and of the black body radiation shift induced on the transition frequency between the two hyperfine levels with mF = 0. This shift is of fundamental importance in the evaluation of the accuracy of the primary frequency standards based on atomic fountains and employed in the realization of the SI second in the International Atomic Time (TAI) scale at the level of 1× 10−15. Our computed value for the polarizability is α0 = (6.600±0.016)×10−39 Cm2/V in agreement at the level of 1×10−3 with recent theoretical and experimental values. As regards the black body radiation shift we find for the relative hyperfine transition frequency β = (−1.49± 0.07)× 10−14 at T = 300 K in agreement with frequency measurements reported by our group and by Bauch and Schröder [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 622, (1997)]. This value is lower by 2 × 10−15 than that obtained with measurements based on the dc Stark shift and with the value commonly accepted up to now. PACS number(s): 32.60.+i, 32.10.Dk, 06.30.Ft

We have performed calculations of the size of the frequency shift induced by a static electric field on the clock transition frequencies of the hyperfine splitting in Yb, Rb, Cs, Ba, and Hg. The calculations are used to find the frequency shifts due to blackbody radiation which are needed for accurate frequency measurements and improvements of the limits on variation of the fine structure const...

We experimentally investigate an optical clock based on Yb (I = 1/2) atoms confined in an optical lattice. We have evaluated all known frequency shifts to the clock transition, including a densitydependent collision shift, with a fractional uncertainty of 3.4 × 10, limited principally by uncertainty in the blackbody radiation Stark shift. We measured the absolute clock transition frequency rela...

Optical frequencies of the hyperfine components of the Dzline in 133CS are determined using high-resolution spectroscopy and a ferntosecond laser frequency comb. A narrow-linewidth probe laser excites the 6s 281/2 (F=3, 4).----+ 6p 2p 3/2 (F=2,3, 4, 5) transition in a highly collimated atomic beam. Fluorescence spectra are taken by scanning the laser frequency over the excited-state hyperfine s...
متن کاملac Stark shift of the Cs microwave atomic clock transitions
The present definition of the unit of time, the second, is based on the frequency of the microwave transition between two hyperfine levels of the Cs atom. Recently, it has been realized that the accuracy and stability of atomic clocks can be substantially improved by trapping atoms in optical lattices operated at a certain “magic” wavelength 1,2 . At this magic wavelength, both clock levels exp...

We report the frequency measurement with an accuracy in the 100 kHz range of several optical transitions of atomic Sr : 1S0 − 3P1 at 689 nm, 3P1 − 3S1 at 688 nm and 3P0 − 3S1 at 679 nm. Measurements are performed with a frequency chain based on a femtosecond laser referenced to primary frequency standards. They allowed the determination with a 70 kHz uncertainty of the energy of the 5s5p 3P0 st...
