- Abstract
We unravel the impact of vector polarizability, induced by a linearly polarized focused Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) light, to accurately determine the magic wavelengths for the clock transitions 4 s 1 2 - 3 d 3 2 , 5 2 of Sc 2 + ion and to achieve singlet-pairing process in ultracold mixture of 87 Rb and 23 Na atoms. We examine how the orbital angular momentum and spin-orbit coupling of the light can intervene in calculating the dynamic electric dipole polarizabilities of the atomic states and, consequently, the magic wavelengths for the clock transitions of Sc 2 + ion. As the vector polarizability can create a species-dependent synthetic magnetic field, by combining it with the real magnetic field, we propose a controlling mechanism of the interspecies singlet-pairing process, β + 1 + γ - 1 ↔ β - 1 + γ + 1 , where β and γ denote the two atomic species, 87 Rb and 23 Na, respectively, of the ultracold heteronuclear spinor mixture. The subscript ± 1 refers to their magnetic quantum numbers. This singlet-pairing process cannot be distinguished from the much stronger other spin-mixing processes by applying an external magnetic field only. We demonstrate that a linearly polarized focused LG light provides a way to isolate the singlet-pairing process due to the presence of orbital angular momentum in the light.
