MW-Optical Double Resonance in $^{171}{Yb}^+$ Trapped Single Ion and its Application for Precision Experiments

Abstract

We have employed the 12.6 GHz microwave transition resonance of a single trapped171^{171}Yb+ ion to accurately measure the size and relative orientation of the magnetic and optical electric fields at the position of the ion in the trap. Accurate knowledge of these fields is required for precision experiments such as single ion PNC. As a proof of the principle we have measured the polarization dependent light-shift of the ground state hyperfine levels due to the 369 nm cooling laser to determine its electric field amplitude and polarization.
