Abstract
Transition frequencies between low-lying energy levels in a single trapped Ba ion have been measured with laser spectroscopy referenced to an optical frequency comb. By extracting the frequencies of one-photon and two-photon components of the line shape using an eight-level optical Bloch model, we achieved 0.1 MHz accuracy for the 5d D - 6p P and 6s S - 5d D transition frequencies, and 0.2 MHz for the 6s S - 6p P transition frequency.
