Abstract

We perform a measurement of the tune-out wavelength, , between the , , and , , transitions for Cs in the ground hyperfine state . At , the frequency-dependent scalar polarizability is zero leading to a zero scalar ac Stark shift. We measure the polarizability as a function of wavelength using Kapitza-Dirac scattering of a Cs Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical lattice, and determine the tune-out wavelength to be nm. From this measurement we determine the ratio of reduced matrix elements to be . This represents an improvement of a factor of 10 over previous results derived from excited-state lifetime measurements. We use the present measurement as a benchmark test of high-precision theory.
