主 题:optical frequency measurement strontium intercombination transition
摘 要:We report on frequency measurement of the intercombination(5s^2)^1S0–(5s5p)^3P1transition of the four natural isotopes of strontium, including88^Sr(82.58%),87^Sr(7.0%),86^Sr(9.86%), and84^Sr(0.56%). A narrow-linewidth laser that is locked to an ultra-low expansion(ULE) optical cavity with a finesse of 12000 is evaluated at a linewidth of 200 Hz with a fractional frequency drift of 2.8×10^-13 at an integration time of 1 s. The fluorescence collector and detector are specially designed, based on a thermal atomic beam. Using a double-pass acousto-optic modulator(AOM) combined with a fiber and laser power stabilization configuration to detune the laser frequency enables high signal-to-noise ratios and precision saturated spectra to be obtained for the six transition lines, which allows us to determine the transition frequency *** optical frequency is measured using an optical frequency synthesizer referenced to an H maser. Both the statistical values and the final values, including the corrections and uncertainties, are derived for a comparison with the values given in other works.
