Measurement of the <sup>87</sup>Rb D-line vector tune-out wavelength
We report a precision measurement of a tune-out wavelength for 87 Rb using circularly polarized light.A tune-out wavelength characterizes a zero in the electric polarizability of the atom.For circularly polarized light, the total polarizability depends on both the scalar and vector polarizability components.This shifts the location of the tune-out wavelength …
