ABSTRACT
We report an uncertainty evaluation of an 171Yb optical lattice clock with a total fractional uncertainty of 3.6×10-16 , which is mainly limited by the lattice-induced light shift and the blackbody radiation shift. Our evaluation of the lattice-induced light shift, the density shift, and the second-order Zeeman shift is based on an interleaved measurement where we measure the frequency shift using the alternating stabilization of a clock laser to the 6s2 1S0-6s6p 3P0 clock transition with two different experimental parameters. In the present evaluation, the uncertainties of two sensitivity coefficients for the lattice-induced hyperpolarizability shift d incorporated in a widely used light shift model by RIKEN and the second-order Zeeman shift aZ are improved compared with the uncertainties of previous coefficients. The hyperpolarizability coefficient d is determined by investigating the trap potential depth and the light shifts at the lattice frequencies near the two-photon transitions 6s6p3P0-6s8p3P0, 6s8p3P2, and 6s5f3F2. The obtained values are d=-1.1(4) µ Hz and aZ=-6.6(3) Hz/mT2. These improved coefficients should reduce the total systematic uncertainties of Yb lattice clocks at other institutes.
