Abstract
The frequency of the electric quadrupole allowed 5s2S 1/2-4d2D5/2 transition at 445 THz in a single, trapped and laser cooled 88Sr+ ion has been measured with an optical frequency chain referenced to a Cs atomic clock. A transition frequency of fS-D=444 779 044 095.4 kHz with an estimated standard uncertainty of 0.2 kHz has been determined. The intrinsic offsets of the measured ion transition frequency due to environmental perturbations have been calculated to be at the 10-15 level
