Preparing pure ${}^{43}$Ca${}^{+}$ samples in an ion trap with photoionization and parametric excitations

C. -H. Kuo, Y. -C. Hsiao, C. -Y. Jhang +2

We present a practical scheme for the efficient preparation of laser-cooled ${}^{43}$Ca${}^{+}$ ions in an ion trap. Our approach integrates two well-established methods: isotope-selecti…
