Abstract
Optical clocks have achieved remarkable levels of uncertainty and stability, leading to the possibility of redefining the second based on optical transitions in the future. Incorporating optical clocks into local time scales holds great potential for enhancing their performance. A simulation approach is employed to construct a time scale composed of a continuously operating active hydrogen maser (HM) and an intermittent 87Sr optical lattice clock (OLC), utilizing Kalman filter algorithm for steering. This study investigates the influence of various operational strategies for the OLC on the steered time scale performance. The simulation result shows that when running the OLC for 4 hours per day, the root-mean-square (RMS) of the time errors is less than 0.6 ns after 30 days, while the frequency stability of the time scale reaches mid-E-17@3×106 s.
