DynamicPolarizability#

class DynamicPolarizability(atom, n, l, j, s=0.5)[source]#

Calculations of magic wavelengths and dynamic polarizability (scalar and tensor).

Parameters

  • atom – alkali or alkaline element of choice

  • n (int) – principal quantum number of the selected stated

  • l (int) – orbital angular momentum of the selected state

  • j (float) – total angular momentum of selected state

  • s (float) – optional, spin state of the atom. Default value of 0.5 is correct for Alkali atoms, but it has to be explicitly specified for DivalentAtom.

Calculate#

defineBasis(nMin, nMax)

Defines basis for calculation of dynamic polarizability

getPolarizability(driveWavelength[, units, ...])

Calculates of scalar, vector, tensor, core and pondermotive polarizability, and returns state corresponding to the closest transition resonance.

Visualise#

plotPolarizability(wavelengthList[, mj, ...])

Plots of polarisability for a range of wavelengths.
