Isotope-selective photoionization for calcium ion trapping
We present studies of resonance-enhanced photoionization for isotope-selective loading of Ca+ into a Paul trap. The 4s2 1↔4s4p 1P1 transition of neutral calcium is driven by a 423 nm laser and the atoms are photoionized by a second laser at 389 nm. Isotope selectivity is achieved by using crossed at...
