Compact apparatus for an Ytterbium lattice clock — •Gregor Mura, Charbel Abou Jaoudeh, Tobias Franzen, and Axel Görlitz — Institut für Experimentalphysik, HHU Düsseldorf, Universitätsstr. 1, 40225 Düsseldorf
Optical clocks using neutral atoms hold the promise to eventually reach an inaccuracy at a level of 10−18. So far stationary optical lattice clocks have been demonstrated for Yb, Sr and Hg. In the framework of the Space Optical Clocks 2 project we are developing a transportable Yb lattice clock demonstrator. Here we present current developments of subsystems which are intended to improve the transportability. These include basically all laser systems in particular the cooling lasers at 399 nm and 556 nm.
