| Abstract | We report on an improved absolute frequency measurement of the 5s ²S₁/₂ – 4d² D₅/₂ optical transition of a single trapped strontium ion using a Global Positioning System (GPS) link to the SI second. Compared to our previous measurement, the systematic uncertainty of the optical clock has been reduced from 1.5 × 10⁻¹⁷ to 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁷. The measurement campaign was performed over a two-week period in June 2017, with a total measurement time of 92 h. The traceability to the SI second through International Atomic Time was achieved through a GPS link using the Precise Point Positioning method. The dead time uncertainty of the link between the optical clock and the maser was evaluated using standard methods based on a model of the maser noise and on the optical frequency measurement uptimes. The measured frequency of the ⁸⁸Sr⁺ ion 5s²S₁/₂ – 4d²D₅/₂ transition is 444 779 044 095 485.49(19) Hz. This result is in excellent agreement with our previous measurements and the uncertainty has been reduced by almost a factor of four, from a fractional frequency uncertainty of 1.7 × 10⁻¹⁵ to 4.3 × 10⁻¹⁶. |
