Resonant photo-ionization of Yb+ to Yb2+
Simon Heugel, Martin Fischer, Vladimir Elman +3
We demonstrate the controlled creation of a ion by photo-ionizing with weak continuous-wave lasers at ultraviolet wavelengths. The ph…
Efficient saturation of an ion in free space
Martin Fischer, Marianne Bader, Robert Maiwald +3
We report on the demonstration of a light-matter interface coupling light to a single ion in free space. The interface is realized through a parabolic mirror…
Generation of a wave packet tailored to efficient free space excitation of a single atom
Andrea Golla, Benoit Chalopin, Marianne Bader +6
We demonstrate the generation of an optical dipole wave suitable for the process of efficiently coupling single quanta of light and matter in free space. We employ a parabolic mirr…
Ion traps with enhanced optical and physical access
Robert Maiwald, Dietrich Leibfried, Joe Britton +3
Small, controllable, highly accessible quantum systems can serve as probes at the single quantum level to study multiple physical effects, for example in quantum optics or for elec…
Design of a mode converter for efficient light-atom coupling in free space
M. Sondermann, R. Maiwald, H. Konermann +3
In this article, we describe how to develop a mode converter that transforms a plane electromagnetic wave into an inward moving dipole wave. The latter one is intended to bring a s…
