Laser-Controlled Cold Ytterbium Atom Source for Transportable Optical Clocks
Open accessAbstract
We demonstrate the cold emission of ytterbium atomic vapors from ytterbium oxide irradiated with a simple ultraviolet diode laser. Slow atoms are trapped by a magneto-optical trap using a dipole-allowed transition at 399 nm. The number of trapped atoms is larger than those loaded from a conventional Zeeman slower. This method will open the way for the development of a compact apparatus suited for transportable optical clocks and other applications.

The development of sufficiently accurate and transportable optical clock is not a barrier.
“The development of sufficiently accurate and transportable optical clock is not a barrier, and several projects go in this direction [105, 182, 183].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
