Magic wavelength for the clock transition in Magnesium-24 — •Dominika Fim, André Kulosa, Steffen Rühmann, Klaus Zipfel, Nandan Jha, Steffen Sauer, Wolfgang Ertmer, and Ernst M. Rasel — Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität
For this purpose we trap 104 magnesium-24 atoms in a power enhanced linear optical lattice near the magic wavelength. We succeeded to directly excite the spin forbidden clock transition 1S0 →3P0 by using the magnetic field induced spectroscopy [1]. The interrogation laser has an instability of 5 · 10−16 at 1 s. A spectroscopy of the blue and red sideband and the carrier give access to important parameters. First, a measurement of the shift of the carrier frequency as a function of trap depth gives insight in the differential AC stark shift. Here from we could determine the magic wavelength to 468.4(0.1) nm which is in a good agreement with theoretical calculations. By means of the difference in height of the sidebands we could evaluate the temperature of the atoms to 7 µ K.
Currently, we are investigating systematic shifts of the clock transition (e.g. 2nd order Zeeman shift).
