摘要: We present a photoionization method to load single 40Ca ions in linear Paul trap from an atomic beam. Neutral Ca I atoms are resonantly excited the ground state intermediate 4s4p 1P1-level using coherent 423 nm radiation produced by single-pass second harmonic generation periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal pumped with 120 mW extended-cavity diode laser. Ionization is then attained high-power light emitting imaged center, appropriately designed optical system composed of standard achromatic doublet lenses. The setup simplifies previous implementations at similar efficiency, and it hardly requires any maintenance all.
