چکیده
We present a theoretical study of the spectra produced by optical/radio-frequency double resonance devices, in which resonant linearly polarized light is used in the optical pumping and detection processes. We extend previous work by presenting algebraic results which are valid for atomic states with arbitrary angular momenta, arbitrary rf intensities, and arbitrary geometries. The only restriction made is the assumption of low light intensity. The results are discussed in view of their use in optical magnetometers.

The accurate determination of atomic masses and the high-precision measurement of the bound-electron g factor are prerequisites for the determination of the electron mass, which is one of the fundamental constants of nature. In the 2002 CODATA adjustment [P. J. Mohr and B. N. Taylor, Rev. Mod. Phys. 77, 1 (2005)], the values of the electron mass and the electron-proton mass ratio are mainly bas...

This paper presents a procedure to perform fully autonomous on orbit alignment of the interferometer on board the LISA technology package (LTP). LTP comprises two freefloating test masses as inertial sensors that additionally serve as end-mirrors of a set of interferometers. From the output signals of the interferometers, a subset has been selected to obtain alignment information of the test ma...

We report a frequency measurement of the 1S0− 3P0 transition of Sr atoms in an optical lattice clock. The frequency is determined to be 429 228 004 229 879 (5)Hz with a fractional uncertainty that is comparable to state-of-the-art optical clocks with neutral atoms in free fall. Two previous measurements of this transition were found to disagree by about 2× 10, i.e. almost four times the combine...

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...
