Laser cooling and sympathetic cooling in a linear quadrupole rf trap

Vladimir L. Ryjkov

An investigation of the sympathetic cooling \nmethod for the studies of large ultra-cold molecular ions in a quadrupole ion trap has been conducted.Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the rf heating mechanisms in the ion trap. The dependence of \nrf heating rates on the ion temperature, trapping parameters, \nand the number of ions is obtained. New rf heating mechanism \naffecting ultra-cold ion clouds exposed to laser radiation is described.The saturation spectroscopy setup of the hyperfine spectra \nof the molecular iodine has been built to provide an accurate frequency reference for the laser wavelength. This reference is used to obtain the fluorescence lineshapes of \nthe laser cooled Mg$^+$ ions under different trapping conditions.The ion temperatures are deduced from the measurements, and \nthe influence of the rf heating rates on the fluorescence lineshapes \nis also discussed. Cooling of the heavy ($m=720$a.u.) fullerene ions to under 10K by the means of the sympathetic cooling by the Mg$^+$ ions($m=24$a.u.) is demonstrated. The single-photon imaging system has been developed and used to obtain the images of the Mg$^+$ ion crystal structures at mK temperatures.

Laser cooling and probing of a trapped strontium ion using all-solid-state lasers

G. P. Barwood, C. S. Edwards, Patrick Robert Gill +2 more

A single strontium ion confined within an rf quadrupole trap has been laser‐cooled and probed using all‐solid‐state lasers. Quantum jumps from the cold ion have been observed by driving the 674 nm 2S1/2‐2D5/2 transition. The 2D5/2‐state lifetime has been measured to be 347±33 ms in good agreement with previous measurements. Preliminary 674 nm lineshapes, constructed from quantum jump data, are presented, and their variation with residual micromotion and magnetic field discussed.

Incoherent repumping scheme in the $^{88}$Sr$^{+}$ five-level manifold

Martimort, Valentin, Guesne, Sacha, D. Drapier +6 more

Laser-cooled trapped ions are at the heart of modern quantum technologies and their cooling dynamics often deviate from the simplified two-level atom model. Doppler cooling of the $^{88}$Sr$^{+}$ ion involves several electronic levels and repumping channels that strongly influence fluorescence. In this work, we study a repumping scheme for the $^{88}$Sr$^{+}$ ion by combining precision single-ion spectroscopy with comprehensive numerical modeling based on optical Bloch equations including 18 Zeeman sublevels. We show that, although the observed fluorescence spectra retain a Lorentzian lineshape, their width and amplitude cannot be explained by a two-level atom description. Moreover, we find the optimal repumping conditions for maximizing the photon scattering rate.
