Can AC Stark Map calculate lightshift by sigma+/sigma- transitions? #184

Are you using the latest release (v3.6.0)? There were fixes to the AC Stark Map functionality specifically relating to using circular polarizations.

Also, I'm not entirely sure the AC Stark Map will work correctly for optical wavelengths. On the one hand, I don't believe there are assumptions that preclude optical transitions. On the other hand, it is not what the code was designed for and I have not preformed any tests there. It is possible you might be better served using the DynamicPolarisability of ARC instead. Example of its usage to find magic trap wavelengths are in the docs.
