摘要
By varying the density of an ultracold Sr-88 sample from 10(9) to > 10(12) cm(-3), we make the first definitive measurement of the density-related frequency shift and linewidth broadening of the S-1(0)-P-3(1) optical clock transition in an alkaline earth system. In addition, we report the most accurate measurement to date of the Sr-88 S-1(0)-P-3(1) optical clock transition frequency. Including a detailed analysis of systematic errors, the frequency is [434 829 121 312 334 +/- 20(stat) +/- 33(syst)] Hz.
