Magic Wavelengths for Terahertz Clock Transitions

Abstract

Magic wavelengths for laser trapping of boson isotopes of alkaline-earth Sr, Ca and Mg atoms are investigated while considering terahertz clock transitions between the 3P0,3P1,3P2^{3}P_{0}, ^{3}P_{1}, ^{3}P_{2} metastable triplet states. Our calculation shows that magic wavelengths of trapping laser do exist. This result is important because those metastable states have already been used to realize accurate clocks in the terahertz frequency domain. Detailed discussions for magic wavelength for terahertz clock transitions are given in this paper.
