Single ion clocks can serve as one of today’s best frequency standards with an accuracy of order 10−18 [1]. Developing a transportable optical ion clock using the 2S1/2 - 2D3/2 resonance with wavelength near 436 nm in a single 171Yb+ ion is the goal of the opticlock [2] consortium. As part of this project we develop a next-generation set-up employing a linear multi-ion trap in order to reduce the measurement time necessary to reach a desired uncertainty. For a beneficial operation of a multi-ion clock, the rate of collisions with background gas has to be kept small. Also, sufficiently low micromotion has to be ensured for all ions in a linear ion crystal. With focus on these aspects, we present the status of the experimental setup, and characterize its operation.
