Abstract

We demonstrate a one-dimensional optical lattice clock with ultracold 171 Yb atoms, which is free from the linear Zeeman effect. The absolute frequency of the 1 S 0 ( F = 1/2)– 3 P 0 ( F = 1/2) clock transition in 171 Yb is determined to be 518 295 836 590 864(28) Hz with respect to the SI second.
