中性原子光晶格钟的系统不确定度评估中, 碰撞频移引起的频移修正量和不确定度是其中重要的一项, 且其评估结果将直接影响交流斯塔克频移的评估. 碰撞频移来源于囚禁在同一个格点里面原子间的相互作用, 其大小与原子的密度有关. 本文实验测量了国家授时中心87Sr光晶格钟的碰撞频移. 利用水平方向的一维光晶格囚禁数目在104量级、温度为3.4 μK的冷原子, 用极化光将原子抽运到基态mF = ± 9/2的塞曼子能级上, 获得了钟跃迁自旋极化谱. 通过高低原子密度自比对的方法测量了87Sr光晶格钟系统中与原子密度相关的碰撞频移. 在原子密度差为4 × 1010/cm3的条件下对系统的碰撞频移进行了37次独立测量, 得到系统的碰撞频移为–0.13 Hz, 统计不确定度为3.1 × 10–17. 自比对的艾伦偏差在8000 s时达到了4 × 10–17, 表明系统的测量精度在10–17量级是可靠的, 为锶原子光晶格钟系统不确定度全面评估奠定了基础.In a one-dimensional Fermion optical lattice clock, the p-wave scattering can occur when collision energy is sufficient to overcome the centrifugal barrier of p-wave scattering. According to Pauli exclusion principle, the s-wave scattering is forbidden between two identical Fermions. However, the s-wave scattering may also exist due to inhomogeneous excitation which leads to some difference between two Fermions. In terms of the uncertainty evaluation of a neutral atomic optical lattice clock, the frequency correction and uncertainty caused by atomic interaction cannot be ignored, and it will affect the evaluation of AC stark frequency shift. So the uncertainty evaluation of the collision frequency shift should be as small as possible. Only in this way can a neutral atomic optical lattice clock have a state-of-the-art performance. The collision frequency shift originates from the interaction between atoms trapped in an identical lattice. In this study, the collision frequency shift of 87Sr optical lattice clock at the National Timing Service Center is measured experimentally. A horizontal one-dimensional optical lattice is constructed. The number of tapped atoms is about 104 at a temperature of 3.4 μK. A laser is used to pump the atoms to either of the Zeeman energy levels of mF = ± 9/2 in the ground state, and the clock transition spin polarization spectrum is obtained. In a spin polarized Fermions system, the collision frequency shift relating to atomic density is measured by the method of self-comparison. The method of self-comparison, which takes full advantage of the excellent short-term stability of the clock laser, can be used to measure the frequency difference caused by the variety of system parameters. Owing to the fact that the collision frequency shift is proportional to atomic density, the collision frequency shift can be measured by the method of self-comparison between high and low atomic density. In the experiment, the systematic state is changed between high and low atomic density by periodically changing the loading time of the first stage of cooling. In order to reduce the statistical uncertainty of the measurement, the collision frequency shift is separately measured 37 times. Finally, when the atomic density is 4 × 1010/cm3, the collision frequency shift is –0.13 Hz, and the statistical uncertainty of the measurement is 3.1 × 10–17. The Allan deviation of self-comparison between low and high atomic density reaches 4 × 10–17 after 8000 s averaging time, indicating that the accuracy of the measurement is reliable and on the order of 10–17. This work lays a foundation of the total uncertainty evaluation of 87Sr optical lattice clock.
