Design of a modular miniaturized apparatus for ion trapping
Jedlička, Petr ; Pham, Minh Tuan ; Grim, Jakub ; Čížek, Martin ; Čepil, Adam ; Slodička, L. ; Číp, Ondřej
We are developing a new experimental apparatus for laser cooling of trapped ions, focusing on high electric field homogeneity, modularity and small size. The apparatus allows measurements with Coulomb crystals and easy modification for different experiments. The high homogeneity trap is created by electrospinning, while the modularity allows for the exchange of key parts. By miniaturizing the dimensions, we achieve a larger numerical aperture of the lens and a reduction in the size of the magnetic shielding. This portable apparatus offers new possibilities for ion studies and is promising for applications in satellite systems and reconnaissance satellites.
The Coherence of Light Emitted by a Linear Coulomb Crystal and Its Mirror Image
Čepil, Adam ; Lešundák, Adam ; Pham, Minh Tuan ; Čížek, Martin ; Grim, Jakub ; Slodička, L. ; Číp, Ondřej
In our work, we focus on the experimental demonstration of two complementary approaches to enhancing the interaction between photons and atoms at the level of individual photons and 40Ca+ ions. We implement a scheme in which the observation of light interference scattered by several trapped atomic ions is further enhanced due to interference with their mirror images. The control of the corresponding collective coherent optical scattering and the possibility of observing the interaction with light emitted by many independent ions modified by optical boundary conditions promises a feasible approach to the effective realization of the interaction between light and matter or to the controlled observation of quantum electrodynamics phenomena with many atoms.
