✦ Synopsis
A novel wavelength dependent Stark shift compensation method for isotope selective ionization in Doppler free two-photon spectroscopy is theoretically investigated. In the present paper, certain wavelengths for the ionization step termed as ''magic wavelengths'' are identified for compensating the Stark shift induced by the excitation laser. The numerical calculations indicate that, ionization efficiencies can be maximized by the judicious choice of the intensities of the excitation and the ionization lasers without much degradation in the optical selectivity. The effects of Stark shift induced asymmetry and its reversal by selecting the appropriate magic wavelength for the ionization step for various excitation and ionization laser intensities have been investigated. The wavelength dependent Stark compensation method can be adapted for the isotope selective Doppler free two-photon excitation followed by non-resonant ionization process for any atomic system. In the present work, the theoretical results pertaining to the specific example of 41 Ca has been presented.
