摘要
We have performed laser cooling of Mg+ ions confined in a Penning trap. The externally produced ions were captured in flight, stored, and laser cooled. Laser-induced fluorescence was observed perpendicular to the cooling laser axis. Optical detection down to the single-ion level together with the electronic detection of the ion oscillations inside the Penning trap have been used to acquire information on the ion storage time, ion number, and ion temperature. Evidence for the formation of ion crystals has been observed. These investigations are an important prerequisite for the sympathetic cooling of simultaneously stored highly charged ions and the precision laser spectroscopy of forbidden transitions in these.
