Generation of a single ion large oscillator
Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of a trapped ion oscillator having large oscillation amplitude of $16.9~{\rm \mu m}$. Applying an offset voltage to the ion trap electrode helped achieve a displacement of the trap center within the time scale of 5 ns. The fluorescence dynamics of the ion were analyzed after the displacement to estimate the oscillation amplitude. The realized trap displacement is one order magnitude larger than that achieved in the previous work. Thus, this result is an important step toward the realization of a gyroscope using a single trapped ion.
