The application relates to a method for improving the frequency
measurement precision of an
optical lattice clock in a microgravity environment, which comprises the following steps: two beams of lattice light are divided from one lattice
light laser, each beam of lattice light is further divided into two beams of lattice light, and four beams of lattice light form two one-dimensional horizontal optical lattices; wherein the
waist positions of the two one-dimensional horizontal optical lattices have a certain interval in the vertical direction, and the midpoint position is the position of the
magnetic field zero point in the
magneto-optical trap; the projections of the axial directions of the two horizontal optical lattices in the
vertical plane are parallel to each other, and the projections in the horizontal plane are perpendicular to each other; an acousto-optic modulator with the same parameters is loaded on the light path of each beam of lattice light, and is used for linear
frequency shift and modulation of the lattice light frequency; two
clock laser beams are divided from one
clock laser source, and are used for exciting different atomic groups in the two one-dimensional horizontal optical lattices. By synchronously detecting the
clock transition spectral lines of each different
atomic group, the differential comparison of the
clock transition frequencies of different atomic groups is realized, so that the common-mode
noise in the
optical clock system is suppressed. The method can realize an
optical lattice clock with super-
high frequency measurement precision in a microgravity environment.
