A Fully Fiber-Integrated Ion Trap for Portable Optical Atomic Clocks
Xavier Fernandez-Gonzalvo, Matthias Keller
We present a novel, single-ion trap with integrated optical fibers directly embedded within the trap structure to deliver laser light as well as collect the ion's fluorescence. Thi…
Precision spectroscopy technique for dipole allowed transitions in laser cooled ions
Amy Gardner, Kevin Sheridan, William Groom +2
In this paper we present a technique for the precise measurement of electric dipole allowed transitions in trapped ions. By applying a probe and a cooling laser in quick succession…
All-Optical Broadband Excitation of the Motional State of Trapped Ions
Kevin Sheridan, Nicolas Seymour-Smith, Amy Gardner +1
We have developed a novel all-optical broadband scheme for exciting, amplifying and measuring the secular motion of ions in a radio frequency trap. Oscillation induced by optical e…
All-optical ion generation for ion trap loading
Kevin Sheridan, Wolfgang Lange, Matthias Keller
We have investigated the all-optical generation of ions by photo-ionisation of atoms generated by pulsed laser ablation. A direct comparison between a resistively heated oven sourc…
Weighing of trapped ion crystals and its applications
Kevin Sheridan, Matthias Keller
We have developed a novel scheme to measure the secular motion of trapped ions. Employing pulsed excitation and analysis of the fluorescence of laser cooled ions, we have measured…
