Optical Lattice Polarization Effects on Hyperpolarizability of Atomic   Clock Transitions
  The light-induced frequency shift due to the hyperpolarizability (i.e. terms of second-order in intensity) is studied for a forbidden optical transition, $J$=0$\to$$J$=0. A simple universal dependence on the field ellipticity is obtained. This result allows minimization of the second-order light shift with respect to the field polarization for optical lattices operating at a magic wavelength (at which the first-order shift vanishes). We show the possibility for the existence of a magic elliptical polarization, for which the second-order frequency shift vanishes. The optimal polarization of the lattice field can be either linear, circular or magic elliptical. The obtained results could improve the accuracy of lattice-based atomic clocks.
