Modeling light shifts in optical lattice clocks

Atomic Physics 2019-04-15 v1

Abstract

We present an extended model for the lattice-induced light shifts of the clock frequency in optical lattice clocks, applicable to a wide range of operating conditions. The model extensions cover radial motional states with sufficient energies to invalidate the harmonic approximation of the confining potential. We reevaluate lattice-induced light shifts in our Yb optical lattice clock with an uncertainty of 6.1E-18 under typical clock operating conditions.
