A Cesium lattice optical clock (CLOC)
POSTER
Abstract
We present progress towards a Cesium Lattice Optical Clock (CLOC)[1]. The CLOC is a spatially compact clock that utilizes the 685nm quadrupole line in Cs to implement an opticla frequency clock. The CLOC involves trapping Cs atoms in a 3D array with a magic trap wavelength at 803nm, using a hole array mask[2] to generate trap sites. Here, we present the design and progress towards this goal, primarily focusing on progress with excitation/manipulation/cooling on the 685nm line.
