Abstract :
This paper reports on an absolute frequency measurement on the 1S0rarr3P1 clock transition of 24Mg at 457 nm based on cold atoms. The characterization of the short and long term stability of the system via telecom fiber network is presented. Measurement results reveal an improved data set, which is taken on a beam of thermal Mg atoms, by an order of magnitude in terms of accuracy.
