Abstract
We have measured the absolute frequency of the optical lattice clock based on 87Sr at PTB with an uncertainty of using two caesium fountain clocks. This is close to the accuracy of todayʼs best realizations of the SI second. The absolute frequency of the 5 s2 1S0 – 5s5p 3P0 transition in 87Sr is .13(17) Hz. Our result is in excellent agreement with recent measurements performed in different laboratories worldwide. We improved the total systematic uncertainty of our Sr frequency standard by a factor of five and reach , opening new prospects for frequency ratio measurements between optical clocks for fundamental research, geodesy or optical clock evaluation.
