Abstract

We report on the spectroscopy of the 5s(2) 1S0(F=9/2)-->5s5p 3P0(F=9/2) clock transition of 87Sr atoms (natural linewidth of 1 mHz) trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Recoilless transitions with a linewidth of 0.7 kHz as well as the vibrational structure of the lattice potential were observed. By investigating the wavelength dependence of the carrier linewidth, we determined the magic wavelength, where the light shift in the clock transition vanishes, to be 813.5+/-0.9 nm.
