We are developing an optical frequency reference based on Ramsey-Bordé interferometry using a thermal atomic beam. The 5s2 1S0 → 5s5p 3P1 intercombination line in strontium is chosen as our clock transition, which should allow for an Allan deviation as low as 2×10−15 between 100 s and 1000 s.
After an overview of the current state of our atom interferometer, the latest developments in our laser systems and frequency stabilization will be presented. Moreover, I outline two methods for reading the population of the associated quantum states in the clock transition, along with the progress on spectroscopy on the 5s5p 3P1 → 5p2 3P0 line at 483 nm.
