Elliptical polarization for molecular Stark shift compensation in deep optical traps

Abstrak
In optical dipole traps, the excited rotational states of a molecule may experience a very different light shift than the ground state. For particles with two polarizability components (parallel and perpendicular), such as linear $^1Σ$ molecules, the differential shift can be nulled by choice of elliptical polarization. When one component of the polarization vector is $\pm i\sqrt{2}$ times the orthogonal component, the light shift for a sublevel of excited rotational states approaches that of the ground state at high optical intensity. In this case, fluctuating trap intensity need not limit coherence between ground and excited rotational states.
