Abstract:
The advancement of optical lattice clocks has revolutionized precision timekeeping, offering
unprecedented accuracy for various scientific and technological applications. In the AtomChip
lab at BGU, we are developing an optical lattice clock using Ytterbium 171 neutral atoms. A
critical component in the performance of optical clocks is the stabilization of the clock laser,
which directly influences the clock’s frequency stability. This seminar will explore the
fundamental principles of optical clock laser stabilization techniques, focusing on achieving
ultra-narrow linewidths and short-term frequency stability. Additionally, we will discuss
methods of frequency dissemination, ensuring that the high-stability frequency signals
generated by optical clocks can be effectively transmitted over long distances without
degradation. The seminar aims to provide insights into the challenges and solutions in
developing such a complex optical clock.
