Optical Detection of Ions Confined in a rf Quadrupole Trap
Reinhard Iffländer, Günther Werth
The observation of D1-fluorescence light from trapped Ba + ions, using a pulsed tunable dye laser as a light source, leads to a sensitive detection of the confined particles. In preparation of an ODR-experiment to determine the ground state hyperfine splitting of the odd isotopes we found the optimum operating point of the trap and measured the average ion energy.
