Optical lattice clocks show impressive performances and are begining to raise the question of the redefinition of the SI second. In these systems, an ultra-stable laser is used as local oscillator to probe very narrow optical transitions of neutral atoms trapped in an optical lattice. The ultime stability of these systems, determined by the number of atoms interrogated at each clock cycle, evaluated at a few 10−17/sqrt(tau) (where tau is the integration time), is currently not reached and is limited to a few 10−16/sqrt(tau) by the phase fluctuations of the probe laser. If the enhancement of the ultra-stable cavities, on which are currently stabilized the probe lasers, is widely studied, LNE-SYRTE has adopted a more recent approach where th...
