We report on the first absolute transition frequency measurement at the 10^{-15} level with a single, laser-cooled 40Ca+ ion in a linear Paul trap. For this measurement, a frequency comb is referenced to the transportable Cs atomic fountain…
The Land$\acute{e}$ $g$ factors of Ba$^+$ are very important in high-precision measurement physics. The wave functions, energy levels, and Land$\acute{e}$ $g$ factors for the $6s$ $^{2}S_{1/2}$ and $5d$ $^{2}D_{3/2,5/2}$ states of Ba$^{+}$…
We have performed saturated absorption spectroscopy on the cesium D$_{2}$ line in 3 T and 7 T magnetic fields. By means of sideband spectroscopy on the extreme angular momentum states we have measured the linear magnetic frequency shift of…
Accurate measurements of different transition frequencies between atomic levels of the electronic and hyperfine structure over time are used to investigate temporal variations of the fine structure constant $\alpha$ and the…
It is shown that the dynamic differential scalar polarisability of the $S_{1/2}-D_{5/2}$ transition in $^{138}$Ba$^+$ can be determined to an inaccuracy below $0.5\%$ across a wide wavelength range ($\lambda>700\,\mathrm{nm}$). This can be…
We report an improved measurement of the Land\'e g factor of the 5D5/2 state of singly ionized barium. Measurements were performed on single Doppler-cooled 138Ba+ ions in linear Paul traps using two similar, independent apparatuses.…
The zero crossing of the dynamic differential scalar polarizability of the $S_{1/2}-D_{5/2}$ clock transition in $^{138}$Ba$^+$ has been determined to be $459.1614(28)\,$THz. Together with previously determined matrix elements and branching…
We present the first terrestrial measurement of the Lande g factor of the 5D5/2 state of singly ionized barium. Measurements were performed on single Doppler-cooled 138Ba+ ions in a linear Paul trap. A frequency-stabilized fiber laser with…
We report measurements of the Lande g-factors for the 5d6s $^3$D$_2$ hyperfine levels of $^{176}$Lu$^+$ to a fractional inaccuracy of $5\times 10^{-7}$. Combining these measurements with theoretical calculations allows us to estimate…

The absolute frequency of the In$^{+}$ $5s^{2 1}S_{0}$ - $5s5p^{3}P_{0}$ clock transition at 237 nm was measured with an accuracy of 1.8 parts in $10^{13}$. Using a phase-coherent frequency chain, we compared the $^{1}S_{0}$ - $^{3}P_{0}$…
We present the first precise frequency measurement of the 2$^{1}$S$_{0}$-3$^{1}$D$_{2}$ two-photon transition in $^{4}$He at 1009 nm. The laser source at 1009 nm is stabilized on an optical frequency comb to perform the absolute frequency…
We report a frequency measurement of the clock transition of a single ^40Ca^+ ion trapped and laser cooled in a miniature ring Paul trap with 10^-15 level uncertainty. In the measurement, we used an optical frequency comb referenced to a…
We have measured the frequency of the $6s^2S_{1/2} - 5d^2D_{3/2}$ electric-quadrupole transition of $^{171}$Yb$^+$ with a relative uncertainty of $1\times 10^{-14}$, $\nu_{Yb}$ = 688 358 979 309 312 Hz $\pm$ 6 Hz. A femtosecond frequency…
We demonstrate experimentally the existence of magic wavelengths and determine the ratio of the oscillator strengths for a single trapped ion. For the first time, two magic wavelengths for the 40Ca+ clock-transition are measured…
We have measured the quadratic Zeeman coefficient for the ${^{1}S_{0} \leftrightarrow {^{3}P_{0}}}$ optical clock transition in $^{27}$Al$^{+}$, $C_{2}=-71.944(24)$~MHz/T$^{2}$, and the unperturbed hyperfine splitting of the $^{25}$Mg$^{+}$…
The differential scalar polarizability $\Delta\alpha_0(\omega)$ of the Ba$^+$ S$_{1/2}$-to-D$_{5/2}$ clock transition has a zero crossing near 481nm, which is measured to be 623.603\,13(17)\,THz. From this measurement, we infer a ratio of…
We present precise values of the dipole polarizabilities ($\alpha$) of the ground $\rm [4f^{14}6s] ~ ^2S_{1/2}$ and metastable $\rm [4f^{14} 5d] ~ ^2D_{3/2}$ states of Yb$^+$, that are %vital {\bf important} in reducing systematics in the…
The interaction between light and an atom causes perturbations in the atom's energy levels, known as the light-shift. These light-shifts are a key source of inaccuracy in atomic clocks, and can also deteriorate their precision. We present a…
