  • Abstract
    At National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), we have lately developed a lattice clock using 87Sr atoms as well as a single ion clock based on 40Ca+. Besides the comparison of the two atomic standards inside the institute, all-optical fiber-link to transfer frequency standards to the University of Tokyo (UT) has been developed to evaluate the uncertainty and stability of our standards by referring the state-of-the-art lattice clock locating in UT. The initial evaluations have resulted in the relative stability of 10-16 level, clearly showing the differential frequency of 4-5Hz mainly caused by the 45m difference of the elevation.
