Abstract :
We report on precision laser spectroscopy of the 2S1/2(F = 0) - 2D3/2(F = 2, mF = 0) clock transition in a single ion of 171Yb+. The absolute value of the transition frequency, determined using an optical frequency comb referenced to a hydrogen maser, is 688 358 979 309 310 plusmn 9 Hz. This corresponds to a fractional uncertainty of 1.3 times 10-14.
