Abstract

We report on the first frequency ratio measurement of an 115^{115}In+ single ion clock and a 87^{87}Sr optical lattice clock. A hydrogen maser serves as a reference oscillator to measure the ratio by independent optical combs. Over more than 90 000 seconds of measurement time, the frequency ratio fIn+/fSrf_{\rm{In^+}}/f_{\rm{Sr}} is determined to be 2.952 748 749 874 863 4(21) with relative uncertainty of 7.0×10167.0 \times 10^{-16}. The measurement creates a new connection in the network of frequency ratios of optical clocks.
