«Clock» transition

Typical structure of energy levels in alkaline-earth and alkaline-earth-like atoms (Mg, Ca, Sr, Zn, Cd, Yb, Hg)

Radiation transitions between metastable

and ground states, stimulated in odd

isotopes by the hyperfine interaction, is

strictly forbidden in even isotopes.

This prohibition makes extremely narrow

the line of the clock transition,

which may be stimulated by an external

magnetic field or by the circularly polarized

lattice wave. This transition may be used as

an oscillator with extremely high quality

The width of the oscillator depends on

(and may be regulated by) the intensity of

the lattice wave or a static magnetic field.

Stark shifts of magnesium clock levels in case of a right-handed circular polarization of lattice. Red solid line is for the ground state 3s2 1S0, all the rest for different magnetic sublevels of the excited 3s3p 3P1 state in a lattice field of a laser intensity I=40 kW/cm^2 (about 40-50 photon recoil energies). The magic wavelengths (MWL) are 419.5 nm for M=-1 and 448.1 nm for M=0 magnetic substates of the upper clock level 3s3p(3P1), correspondingly. There is no MWL for the state M=1 in a circularly polarized lattice.

Stark shifts of magnesium clock levels in case of a linearly polarized lattice wave of the laser intensity I=40 kW/cm^2. The shifts of states 3s3p 3P1 (M=±1) are identical and completely equivalent to that of the state M=0 in a circularly polarized lattice beam with the MWL 448.1 nm, which is nearly equal to the MWL 453.5 nm for an averaged over M, independent of polarization (scalar) shift; the MWL for the M=0 state is 527 nm. The shifts of upper clock states experience the resonance enhancement on the 3s4s(3S1)-state at 517 nm, except for the state M=0 in the case of linearly polarized lattice and M=1 (M=-1) state in the right-handed (left-handed) case of circular polarization

Conclusions 1 (Red-detuned MWL)

1. At least 3 different methods may be used for determining MWL for the red-detuned optical lattice, providing MWL, and their mean value

(in Sr, ). These MWLs provide different lattice-induced shifts and uncertainties on the clock frequency, with different dependencies on the lattice laser intensity.

2. The polarizabilities contribute only to the lattice potential depth and harmonic oscillation frequencies and never contribute to the anharmonic terms, where the contributions come from hyperpolarizabilities only.

3. The hyperpolarizability provides quadratic, power 3/2 and linear contributions to the lattice-potential depth, frequency of vibrations and anharmonic interaction, correspondingly. At I>10 kW/cm2 the hyperpolarizability contribution to the lattice-induced shift in Sr and Yb atoms becomes comparable or exceeding that of polarizability. In Hg atoms the hyperpolarizability terms do not exceed 10% of polarizability terms at I<100 kW/cm2.

The hyperpolarizability effects in the shift and broadening (caused by two-photon ionization) are strongly reduced by the factor (as follows from the data of table 1 for the blue MWL, where intensity is in kW/cm2).

3.3. Numerical estimates of the blue-detuned-lattice-induced shifts

The hyperpolarizability effects in the shift and broadening (caused by two-photon ionization)

are strongly reduced by the factor (as follows from the data of table 1 for

the blue MWL, where intensity is in

kW/cm2).

In the blue-detuned lattice of Sr atoms the shift of the clock frequency is directly proportional

to the lattice-laser intensity and is mainly determined by the difference of E2-M1

polarizabilities of the clock levels. The influence of hyperpolarizability appears only in the

third digit number. The broadening (imaginary part of the shift) is more than 4 orders smaller

than the shift. For I=10 kW/cm2 the lattice-induced shift is about 137 mHz, the lattice-

induced width is about 6 μHz.

Conclusions 2

1. The motion-insensitive blue-detuned MWL depends on only the polarizabilities and is not influenced by hyperpolarizability effects.

2. The hyperpolarizability effects on the clock levels appear only in anharmonic interaction of atom with lattice.

3. The intensity of the lattice laser is sufficient to trap atoms cooled to 1 μK at the lowest vibrational state.

4. To achieve the clock frequency precision at the 18th decimal place, the irremovable multipole-interaction-induced shift by the field of optical lattice should be taken into account with uncertainty below 1.0%.
