Abstract

Synchronous comparison of optical clocks using phase-coherent clock lasers makes it possible to determine the difference (ratio) of clock transition frequencies, which is not limited by the total noise of lasers in use. A detailed simulation of the comparison of two thulium optical clocks is performed using synchronous interrogation of atoms by the radiation of a common clock laser. Some critical parameters have been determined, specifically: the residual noncorrelated frequency and amplitude noises of test pulses and reading noises, which may deteriorate the comparison stability. At the same time, it is demonstrated that this way is insensitive to fluctuations in the number of atoms, calibration of feedback-loop parameters, individual ejections in measurement cycles, and fluctuations of laboratory magnetic field.
