Abstract

The dynamic polarizabilities of the atomic states with angular momentum j>12j> \frac12 are sensitive to the angle between the quantization axis e^z\hat{e}_z and the polarization vector ϵ^\hat{\mathbf{\epsilon}} owing to the contribution of anisotropic tensor polarizabilities. The magic wavelength, at which the differential Stark shift of an atomic transition nullifies, depends on this angle. We identified the magic wavelengths for the 4s123d32,524s_{\frac12}\to3d_{\frac32,\frac52} transitions of Ca+^{+} ions at different angles between e^z\hat{e}_z and ϵ^\hat{\mathbf{\epsilon}} in the case of linearly polarized light. We found that the magic wavelengths near 395.79 nm, which lie between the 4s124p124s_{\frac12}\to4p_{\frac12} and 4s124p324s_{\frac12}\to 4p_{\frac32} transition wavelengths, remain unsensitive to the angle, while the magic wavelengths, which are longer than the 3d524p323d_{\frac52}\to 4p_{\frac32} resonant transition wavelength (854.21 nm), are very sensitive to the angle.
