摘要 | We demonstrate a spin-polarized clock transition spectrum of the Sr-87 optical lattice clock. The clock transition 5s(2) S-1(0) -> 5s5p P-3(0) of isotope Sr-87 has a hyperfine structure due to non-zero nuclear spin, inducing ten pi-polarized transitions from each individual m(F) state under the condition of a bias magnetic field along the probing polarization axis. In this experiment, atoms are driven to a certain m (F) state by a circular-polarization pump light to maximize the atomic population, which is beneficial to the stability and uncertainty evaluation of the optical lattice clock. After two stages: cooling and trapping, about 3. 5 x 10(6) atoms are trapped in the red magneto-optical trap with a temperature of 3.9 mu K. A grating-feedback external cavity diode laser with a tapered amplifier is used to build the optical lattice with a "magic-wavelength" of 813.426 nm. Both waists of the counter-propagating lattice beam along the horizontal direction are overlapped to form a one-dimensional optical lattice. The lifetime of the atoms trapped in the 1 D optical lattice is 1600 ms. The clock laser at 698 nm is a grating-feedback diode laser, which is locked to an ultra-low expansion cavity by the Pound-Drever-Hall technique to stabilize the frequency and phase. As a result, the linewidth of clock laser is narrowed to Hz level. By the normalized shelving method, we obtain a resolved sideband spectrum of Sr-87 5s(2) S-1(0) -> 5s5p P-3(0) transition. According to the spectrum, the lattice temperature along the longitudinal direction is approximately 4.2 mu K. After that a linewidth of 6.7 Hz of the degenerate clock transition is obtained at a probing time of 150 ms by utilizing a three-dimensional (3 D) bias magnetic field, which is used to eliminate the stray magnetic fields. Then a small bias magnetic field of 300 mGs is applied along the polarization axis of the lattice light to achieve the spectrum of Zeeman magnetic sublevels of the clock transition. Furthermore, the m(F) = +9/2 and m(F) = -9/2 magnetic sublevels are picked to be respectively pumped by the sigma(+)-polarized and sigma(-)-polarized light at 689 nm, a variable liquid crystal wave plate is employed to switch on both polarizations. Finally, the spin polarized clock transition spectrum is obtained at the interrogating pulse of 150 ms, and the linewidths of the m(F) = +9/2, m(F) = -9/2 magnetic sublevel transitions are 6.8 Hz and 6.2 Hz respectively. |
