Des horloges atomiques pour LISA ? Pierre Lemonde Bureau National de Métrologie – SYRTE (UMR CNRS 8630) Observatoire de Paris, France Journées LISA-FRANCE Annecy, Janvier 2007

LISA frequency noise cancellation S (f)=100 Hz 2 /Hz for 1 mHz required rejection is ~ Hz Stabilisation to a high finesse cavity, limited by thermal motion of the cavity mirrors Stabilisation to atomic or molecular resonances: -microwave clocks (fountains) -optical clocks (molecules, ions, neutral atoms) Nd:YAG stabilisation to a I 2 transition J. Ye et al. Phys. Rev. Lett.. 87, (2001) ~ t -1/2 down to s Flicker floor about LISA detectivity ~ 50 µrad for averaging times between 10 and 1000 s. TDI => cancellation of the laser frequency (phase) noise by an appropriate combination of measured beatnotes. Doing better: cold atoms

Stability of a laser stabilized to atomic resonances atomic resonance macroscopic oscillator atoms interrogation correction + transition should be insensitive to external perturbations atomic quality factor Short term frequency stability: Long term frequency stability: control of systematic effects s.

Detection N at ~2  10 9  r ~  mm T ~1  K ΔV ~2 cm.s -1 V launch ~ 4m.s -1 H ~1m T ~500ms T c ~0.8-2s Selection Atomic fountains: Principle of operation

transition probability P NO AVERAGING ONE POINT = ONE MEASUREMENT OF P Ramsey fringes in atomic fountain Fluctuations of the transition probability: We alternate measurements on bothe sides of the central fringe to generate an error signal, which is used to servo-control the microwave source

FO2 frequency stability This stability is close to the quantum limit. A resolution of is obtained after 6 hours of integration. With Cs the frequency shift is then close to ! With a cryogenic sapphire oscillator, low noise microwave synthesis (~ 3  10 1s) Frequency stability with a cryogenic Oscillator

Fountain Accuracy Fountain (LNE-SYRTE)FO2(Cs) second order Zeeman (0.1) Blackbody radiation (0.6) Collisions + cavity pulling (1.3) Residual Doppler effect0.0 (3.0) Recoil0.0 (1.4) Neighbouring transitions.0.0 (0.1) Microwave leaks, spectral purity, synchronous perturbations. 0.0 (0.5) Collisions with residual gaz.0.0 (0.5) Total3.8 EffectShift and uncertainty ( )

Going further: Two possible ways atomic resonance macroscopic oscillator atoms interrogation correction -low natural width -Fourier limit, long interaction time -low oscillator spectral width -Large atom number -low noise detection scheme -low noise oscillator -as high as possible + transition should be insensitive to external perturbations atomic quality factor Atomic transition in the optical domain A clock in space

Optical frequency standards ? Frequency stability : Increase (x 10 5 ) Frequency accuracy: most of the shifts (expressed in absolute values) don't depend on the frequency of the transition (Collisions, Zeeman...). Three major difficulties -Ability to compare frequencies (no fast enough electronics ) -Recoil and first order Doppler effect -Interrogation oscillator noise conversion (Dick effect). Optical fountain at the quantum limit !!!!!!!!! The best optical clocks so far exhibit frequency stabilities in the  -1/2 range together with an accuracy around

Doppler Effect Atomic fountains limited to ~ Calcium optical clock ~ v Room temperature atoms: v ~ 300 m/s Doppler shift ~ Cold atoms: v ~ 1 m/s Standing wave in a cavity Q ~10 4 Symmetry of the interrogation = 0 Residual Doppler shift ~ Can the Doppler frequency shift be decreased down to ~ ???? Doppler shift is given by k. v, independant on n 0 in fractional units

Doppler/recoil, quantum picture 2-level atom: coupling: acts on internal and external degrees of freedom Free atoms :eigenstates of H ext have a well defined momentum (plane waves) p E EfEf EeEe resonance frequency shift Doppler recoil is the translation operator by hk s in momentum space

Doppler/recoil, trapped particles 2-level atom: coupling: Trapped atoms : eigenstates of H ext are more and more localized (delocalized) in real (momentum) space as  t increases. is not an eigenstate of H ext, however in the tight confinement regime « Strong carrier » surrounded by « small » detuned motional sidebands Lamb-Dicke confinement, no more problem with motional effects External potential has to be exactly the same for both clocks states

Tight confinement of atoms Laser 1 Laser 2 Tight enough confinement implies shifts of the levels by tens of kHz: 10 kHz ~ several of an optical frequency laser intensity (E 2 ) and polarization are difficult to control at a « metrological » level. Relevant parameter is the difference between both clock levels shit. /2 atoms
