Precision laser spectroscopy of the 1S-2S optical clock transition in atomic hydrogen

Objective

The applicant wishes to get expertise on doing one of the Worlds most precise measurements of laser-light frequency that is being stabilized on a spectrally very narrow transition in hydrogen atoms.
Precise values of Rydberg constant and Lamb shifts have been obtained from this experiment.
The measurement precision of 1S-2S optical transition has reached 14 digits allowing to set the upper limit for the possible drift of fundamental constants of Nature.
The applicant can contribute to the upgrade of the experiment with a new solid state laser system and novel laser stabilization part making the system more compact and one step closer to a practical H atomic clock.
The applicant will take part in a new precision measurement with improved precision. The experience at the MPQ will be very useful for advancing his scientific career
