Description
We present an optical atomic clock based on spectroscopy of the relatively narrow $^1S_0 ↔ ^3P_1$ intercombination line in neutral ytterbium. We show that this system is not only able to achieve short- and medium-term frequency instability better than 10-14 but is also compact and robust. We demonstrate the potential of this system by performing extensive field testing of the clock with an integrated optical frequency comb in a harsh maritime environment.
