Efficient Three-Dimensional Sub-Doppler Cooling of Ca in a Penning Trap
Brian J. McMahon, Brian C. Sawyer
We demonstrate efficient sub-Doppler laser cooling of the three eigenmodes of a Ca ion confined in a compact Penning trap operating with a magnetic field of 0.91 T. Usin…
Absorption Spectroscopy of Ca Atomic Beams Produced via Pulsed Laser Ablation: A Quantitative Comparison of Ca and CaTiO Targets
Kevin D. Battles, Brian J. McMahon, Brian C. Sawyer
Pulsed laser ablation is an increasingly prevalent method for fast ion trap loading of various species, however characteristics of the ablation target source material can affect th…
Individual-Ion Addressing and Readout in a Penning Trap
Brian J. McMahon, Kenton R. Brown, Creston D. Herold +1
We implement individual addressing and readout of ions in a rigidly rotating planar crystal in a compact, permanent magnet Penning trap. The crystal of Ca is trapped and…
Modeling Line Broadening and Distortion Due to Spatially Non-Uniform Fields in Rydberg Electrometry
Andrew P. Rotunno, Amy K. Robinson, Samuel Berweger +4
We present a model for calculating broadened Autler-Townes spectra when probing ac electric field magnitudes by use of Rydberg atom electromagnetically-induced transparency. This m…
Very-high- and ultrahigh- frequency electric field detection using high angular momentum Rydberg states
Roger C. Brown, Baran Kayim, Michael A. Viray +3
We demonstrate resonant detection of rf electric fields from 240 MHz to 900 MHz (very-high-frequency (VHF) to ultra-high-frequency (UHF)) using electromagnetically induced transpar…
Second-Scale Spin Coherence in a Compact Penning Trap
Brian J. McMahon, Brian C. Sawyer
We report microwave spectroscopy of co-trapped and within a compact permanent-magnet-based Penning ion trap. The trap is constructed with a recon…
