  • 精密测量囚禁在光晶格里面中性原子间相互作用导致的密度频移在研究多体相互作用和实现高性能光晶格钟等方面有着重要应用. 本文利用基于原位成像的同步频率比对技术对光晶格钟的密度频移系数进行了准确的测量. 光晶格里面的原子被一束钟激光同时激发, 并通过原位成像技术同时且独立地探测光晶格里11个不相关区域的钟跃迁概率. 由于不相关区域里的原子被同时激发, 即共模抑制了钟激光的噪声, 因此它们间的频率比对稳定度超越了Dick噪声的限制, 并与原子探测噪声极限相符合. 得益于光晶格里非均匀的原子数分布和可以忽略的外场梯度, 不相关区域间的频率比对结果即为密度频移. 通过测量密度频移和格点平均原子数差的关系, 获得密度频移系数为–0.101(3) Hz/(atom·site), 经过103 s的测量时间, 系统平均密度频移的相对测量不确定度达到了1.5 × 10–17.
    Precision measurement of the density shift caused by the interaction among neutral atoms trapped in an optical lattice has important applications in the study of multi-body interaction and the realization of high-performance optical lattice clocks. The common methods of measuring the density are the self-comparison technique and frequency comparison between two optical lattice clocks. Both methods are based on the identical density shift coefficient and should interrelatedly operate the clock at high- and low-density state, respectively. The precision of self-comparison method is limited by the Dick effect. The synchronous frequency comparison between two optical lattice clocks can realize the precision beyond the Dick limit. However, both methods can only obtain the average density shift and ignore the fact that the magnitude of the density shift is different over the lattice sites as inhomogeneous density distribution in the lattice. In this paper, the synchronous frequency comparison technique based on in situ imaging is used to accurately measure the density shift coefficient of optical lattice clock. Atoms in the optical lattice are simultaneously and independently excited by the same clock laser beam, and the clock transition probability of 11 uncorrelated regions of the optical lattice is simultaneously detected by in situ imaging. Thus, the clock laser noise, which is the root cause of the Dick effect, is common-mode rejected as the frequency difference between uncorrelated regions is measured by the clock transition spectrum. Beyond the Dick-noise-limited stability, the stability of synchronous frequency comparison between uncorrelated regions is consistent with the limit resulting from the atom detection noise. Between the center and margin of the lattice, the differential shifts of the black-body radiation shift, lattice AC Stark shift, probe Stark shift, DC Stark shift, and quadratic Zeeman shift are all below 5 × 10–6 Hz, which is three orders of magnitude smaller than the density shift and can be ignored in this experiment. Benefitting from the inhomogeneous distribution of atom number and negligible external field gradient in the optical lattice, the compared frequency shift between uncorrelated regions indicates the density shift. By measuring the relationship between the density shift and atom difference, the density shift coefficient is determined as –0.101(3) Hz/atom/site (with a measurement time of 103 s), and the fractional measurement uncertainty of the mean density shift of our system is 1.5 × 10–17.
