Abstract
In neutral atom optical clocks, the higher-order atomic polarizability terms lead to the clock transition frequency shift that is motion-state dependent and nonlinear with the optical lattice depth. We propose to use an auxiliary optical lattice to compensate the influence of the E2-M1 differential polarizability or tune the associated coefficient to a favorable value. We show that by applying this method to Sr and Hg optical lattice clocks, the low or even sub-10-19 clock transition frequency uncertainty from the optical lattice becomes feasible. Finally, the proposed scheme is simple for experimental realization, is compatible with the use of an enhancement cavity, and can be implemented and tested in the existing setups.
