Improving the stability and accuracy of the Yb optical lattice clock

July 31, 2011

We report results for improving the stability and uncertainty of the NIST $^{171}$Yb lattice clock. The stability improvements derive from a significant reduction of the optical Dick effect, while the uncertainty improvements focus on improved

Making optical atomic clocks more stable with 10 -16 level laser stabilization

January 23, 2011

The superb precision of an atomic clock is derived from its stability. Atomic clocks based on optical (rather than microwave) frequencies are attractive because of their potential for high stability, which scales with operational frequency. Nevertheless
