A mobile Strontium optical frequency standard — •Ole Kock, Steven Johnson, Jochen Kronjaeger, and Kai Bongs — School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom

Today first optical clocks have demonstrated performance beyond the current Cs atomic frequency standard. They are entering a sensitivity regime, where interdisciplinary applications such as relativistic geodesy , i.e. the determination of the earth geoid potential via relativistic frequency shifts, become feasible. On this poster we present the progress of a mobile optical frequency standard with Strontium necessary for such an application. We acknowledge support by EPSRC under grant EP/E036473/1.
