provisionally to provide the Stark trapping potential depth of about 40-50 photon
recoil energies). The magic wavelength λmag≈453 nm is determined by the point of

Stark shifts of magnesium clock levels in case of a right-handed circular polarization of lattice. Red solid

a lattice field of a laser intensity I=40 kW/cm^2 (about 40-50 photon recoil energies). The magic wavelengths
(MWL) are 419.5 nm for M=-1 and 448.1 nm for M=0 magnetic substates of the upper clock level 3s3p(3P1),
correspondingly. There is no MWL for the state M=1 in a circularly polarized lattice.

Stark shifts of magnesium clock levels in case of a linearly polarized lattice wave of the laser intensity
I=40 kW/cm^2. The shifts of states 3s3p 3P1 (M=±1) are identical and completely equivalent to that of
the state M=0 in a circularly polarized lattice beam with the MWL 448.1 nm, which is nearly equal to
the MWL 453.5 nm for an averaged over M, independent of polarization (scalar) shift; the MWL for
the M=0 state is 527 nm. The shifts of upper clock states experience the resonance enhancement on the
3s4s(3S1)-state at 517 nm, except for the state M=0 in the case of linearly polarized lattice and M=1
(M=-1) state in the right-handed (left-handed) case of circular polarization

Conclusions 1 (Red-detuned MWL)
1. At least 3 different methods may be used for determining MWL for the redt
s
detuned optical lattice, providing MWL, m , m and their mean value
mE1  (mt  ms ) / 2 (in Sr, ms  mt  20.5 MHz ). These MWLs provide
different lattice-induced shifts and uncertainties on the clock frequency, with
different dependencies on the lattice laser intensity.
2. The polarizabilities contribute only to the lattice potential depth and harmonic
oscillation frequencies and never contribute to the anharmonic terms, where the
contributions come from hyperpolarizabilities only.
3. The hyperpolarizability provides quadratic, power 3/2 and linear contributions
to the lattice-potential depth, frequency of vibrations and anharmonic
interaction, correspondingly. At I>10 kW/cm2 the hyperpolarizability
contribution to the lattice-induced shift in Sr and Yb atoms becomes comparable
or exceeding that of polarizability. In Hg atoms the hyperpolarizability terms do
not exceed 10% of polarizability terms at I<100 kW/cm2.

3.3. Numerical estimates of the blue-detuned-latticeinduced shifts
From the data of table 1 for the Sr blue-detuned MWL we have
Re c1 ( , n  0)  (13.74  0.05 2 ) mHz/(kW/cm 2 ),
Im c1 ( , n)  (0.606  0.026 2 )( n 2  n  1/ 2)  Hz/(kW/cm 2 )
In the blue-detuned lattice of Sr atoms the shift of the clock frequency is directly proportional
to the lattice-laser intensity and is mainly determined by the difference of E2-M1
polarizabilities of the clock levels. The influence of hyperpolarizability appears only in the
third digit number. The broadening (imaginary part of the shift) is more than 4 orders smaller
than the shift. For I=10 kW/cm2 the lattice-induced shift is about 137 mHz, the latticeinduced width is about 6 μHz.
The hyperpolarizability effects in the shift and broadening (caused by two-photon ionization)

the blue MWL, m  389.889 nm, Erec / Dlatt  1/(6I ),where intensity is in kW/cm 2).

Conclusions 2
1. The motion-insensitive blue-detuned MWL depends on only
the polarizabilities and is not influenced by
hyperpolarizability effects.
2. The hyperpolarizability effects on the clock levels appear
only in anharmonic interaction of atom with lattice.
2
3. The intensity of the lattice laser I  4 kW/cm is sufficient to
trap atoms cooled to 1 μK at the lowest vibrational state.
4. To achieve the clock frequency precision at the 18th decimal
place, the irremovable multipole-interaction-induced shift by
the field of optical lattice should be taken into account with
uncertainty below 1.0%.
