In an optical lattice clock atoms are trapped and interrogated in a periodic potential generated using a strong light field (optical lattice). A shift of the clock transition frequency can be strongly suppressed by operating the lattice laser at the *magic* frequency. A high spectral purity of the lattice beam is also of critical importance for minimizing residual shifts. In tapered amplifier (TA) diode lasers the contribution of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is a major limiting factor for achieving clock uncertainty below 1x10-16. In this work we present the characterization of a new grating-based filter to suppress the ASE of a commercial 813 nm laser in a transportable Sr clock [1]. Its magic wavelength is compared with the one of a Ti:Sapphire laser. The optical clock frequency uncertainty due to the lattice laser is evaluated. [1] Origila et al.
