We have measured the ac Stark shift of the 4s2 1S0–4s4p 3P1 line in 40Ca for perturbing laser wavelengths between 780 nm and 1064 nm with a time domain Ramsey-Bordé atom interferometer. We found a zero crossing of the shift for the mS=0–mP=0 transition and σ polarized perturbation at 800.8(22) nm. The data was analyzed by a model deriving the energy shift from known transition wavelengths and strengths. To fit our data, we adjusted the Einstein A coefficients of the 4s3d 3D–4s4p 3P and 4s5s 3S–4s4p 3P fine structure multiplets. With these we can predict vanishing ac Stark shifts for the 1S0 m=0–3P1 m=1 transition and σ light at 983(12) nm and at 735.5(20) nm for the transition to the 3P0 level.
