Abstract

We present measurements of three distinctive state-dependent wavelengths for the S01P03 clock transition in 174Yb atoms. Specifically, we determine two magic wavelengths at 652.281(21) and 542.50205(19)THz, where the differential light shift on the S01P03 clock transition vanishes, and one tune-out wavelength at 541.8325(5)THz, where the polarizability of the S01 ground state exhibits a zero crossing. The two magic wavelengths are identified by spectroscopically interrogating cold 174Yb atoms on the clock transition in a one-dimensional optical lattice. The ground-state tune-out wavelength is determined via a parametric heating scheme. With a simple empirical model, we then extrapolate the ground- and excited-state polarizability over a broad range of wavelengths in the visible spectrum.
