Neutral ytterbium (YbI) and singly ionized ytterbium (YbII) are widely used in experiments in quantum optics, metrology, and quantum information science. We report on the investigation of isotope-selective two-photon ionization of YbI that allows for efficient loading of ion traps with YbII. Results are presented on two-color (399 nm and 369 nm) and single-color (399 nm) photoionization and their efficiency is compared to electron impact ionization. Nearly deterministic loading of a desired number of YbII ions into a linear Paul trap is demonstrated. First results have been presented in the context of quantum information (Balzer et al. in Phys. Rev. A 73:041407(R), 2006), and the present paper is intended to give a detailed description and understanding of the photoionization and ion trap loading processes. Furthermore, we provide useful technical details of the production and characterization of suitable atomic ovens.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
