    Abstract: Provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a radiation shield 10 including a shield wall surrounding a hollow region capable of accommodating therein atoms for an optical lattice clock 100, the shield wall having, provided therein, at least two apertures communicating with outside. A geometrical shape of an inner wall surface of the shield wall is configured such that a difference between BBR shifts found under two conditions does not exceed a predetermined value over a range of position of atoms, the BBR shifts being caused in atoms 2 by emitted radiation emitted by the inner wall surface, incoming radiation leaking in from the outside through the apertures, and a reflection component of the emitted radiation and incoming radiation at the inner wall surface, the two conditions being a condition where the inner wall surface exhibits mirror reflection and a condition where the inner wall surface exhibits diffuse reflection, the range being where clock transition operation is carried out in the optical lattice clock, the inner wall surface facing the hollow region. Provided according to other embodiments of the present disclosure also are the optical lattice clock 100 including such a radiation shield, and a design method for the radiation shield.

    Abstract: Various embodiments improve accuracy by increasing the number of atoms engaged in a clock transitions in an optical lattice clock. An exemplary optical lattice clock an embodiment comprises an optical waveguide, an optical path, a laser light source, and a laser cooler. The optical path has a hollow pathway that extends from a first end to a second end while being surrounded with a tubular wall, which is used as a waveguide path. The optical path passes between mirrors and through the pathway. The laser light source supplies to the optical path a pair of lattice lasers (L1 and L2) propagating in opposite directions with each other. The laser cooler supplies cooled atoms that have two levels of electronic states associated with a clock transition to the vicinity of the first end of the optical waveguide.

    Abstract: An optical lattice clock includes a clock transition space having disposed therein an atom group trapped in an optical lattice, and a triaxial magnetic field correction coil for correcting the magnetic field of the clock transition space. Additionally, in a correction space that includes the clock transition space and is larger than the clock transition space, a photoreceiver promotes the clock transition of the atom group trapped in the optical lattice and acquires a clock transition frequency distribution for the correction space. Further, a corrector corrects the magnetic field of the triaxial magnetic field correction coil on the basis of the frequency distribution measured by the photo receiver.
