We perform a measurement of the tune-out wavelength, λ 0 , between the D 1 , 6 2 S 1/2 → 6 2 P 1/2 , and D 2 , 6 2 S 1/2 → 6 2 P 3/2 , transitions for 133 Cs in the ground hyperfine state (F = 3, m F = +3). At λ 0 , the frequencydependent scalar polarizability is zero leading to a zero scalar ac Stark shift. We measure the polarizability as a function of wavelength using Kapitza-Dirac scattering of a 133 Cs Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical lattice, and determine the tune-out wavelength to be λ 0 = 880.21790( 40) stat (8) sys nm. From this measurement we determine the ratio of reduced matrix elements to be 1.9808(2). This represents an improvement of a factor of 10 over previous results derived from excited-state lifetime measurements. We use the present measurement as a benchmark test of high-precision theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
