K. Sugiyama et J. Yoda, STUDY OF YB+ TRAPPED IN A RF TRAP WITH LIGHT BUFFER GAS BY IRRADIATION WITH RESONANT LIGHT, IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement, 42(2), 1993, pp. 467-473
We have studied the characteristics of Yb+ held in a rf trap in the pr
esence of a light buffer gas by irradiation with resonant light beams,
including those for depleting the metastable state of the 2D3/2 and F
-2(7/2) states. Further investigation was also made concerning the dis
appearance of ionic detection signals via rf resonance absorption by i
rradiation with the radiation driving the S-2(1/2)-P-2(1/2) transition
