Thesis
Sub-hertz optical frequency metrology using a single ion of 171Yb+
- Abstract:
-
Optical frequency standards offer the possibility of a step improvement of up to two orders of magnitude in the accuracy with which the SI second can be realised. 171Yb+ possesses two dipole-forbidden optical transitions that are promising candidates for a redefinition of the second. In this thesis, absolute frequency measurements of these two transitions are presented.
A number of experimental upgrades have been implemented, which have resulted in a large redu...
