Abstract

We perform high resolution spectroscopy on 176^{176}Lu+^+ including the 1S03D1^1S_0\leftrightarrow{^3}D_1 and 1S03D2^1S_0\leftrightarrow{^3}D_2 clock transitions. Hyperfine structures and optical frequencies relative to the 1S0^1S_0 ground state of four low lying excited states are given to a few tens of kHz resolution. This covers the most relevant transitions involved in clock operation with this isotope. Additionally, measurements of the 3D2^3D_2 hyperfine structure may provide access to higher order nuclear moments, specifically the magnetic octupole and electric hexadecapole moments.
