Rapid all-optical loading of trapped ions using a miniaturised atom source
Lorenzo Versini, Tim F. Wohlers-Reichel, Catherine E. J. Challoner +8
We characterise an efficient optically-heated neutral atom source for ion trapping. We observe loading rates of up to with heating powers below $85\,\mathr…

A short response-time atomic source for trapped ion experiments
Timothy G. Ballance, Joseph F. Goodwin, Bethan Nichol +3
Ion traps are often loaded from atomic beams produced by resistively heated ovens. We demonstrate an atomic oven which has been designed for fast control of the atomic flux density…
