Magnetic Dipole Hyperfine Constants of 15 Energy Levels in $^{169}$Tm II Determined by Collinear Laser Fluorescence Spectroscopy

We present measurements of the hyperfine structure, transition frequencies and relative intensities in 14 lines of 169Tm+ ions starting from the $4f^{13}({}^2\!F^o_{7/2})6s_{1/2} (7/2, 1/2)_{3,4}^o$ levels. The magnetic dipole hyperfine ($A$) constant of all 15 involved ionic levels are determined, 14 of which have sub-MHz accuracy. For five levels no previous measurements were reported, while all others are in excellent agreement with the literature and improve on the previous accuracy by typically 1 - 2 orders of magnitude. We compare transition strengths and include improved transition frequencies. These results are useful for the quantum computing community, modelling of Tm$^+$ abundances in stellar spectra, as well as for an ongoing measurement program on short-lived Tm isotopes at ISOLDE/CERN.

Demonstration of a Raman Velocity Filter in Collinear Laser Spectroscopy: Towards Applications for sub-ppm High-Voltage Measurements

Raman transitions have a wide range of applications in atomic physics and have recently been proposed as a means for improving high-precision high-voltage measurements. Here, we present a theoretical analysis and a first experimental demonstration of $5s\,^2\mathrm{S}_{1/2} \rightarrow 4d\,^2\mathrm{D}_{3/2,5/2}$ Raman transitions in $^{88}$Sr$^+$ ions in collinear laser spectroscopy. For the theoretical description the three-level system is reduced to an effective two-level system, in order to estimate the experimental parameters, while the role of the spatial laser intensity distribution in combination with the radial extension of the ion beam are elucidated by performing simulations of the full four-level system. Experimentally, we realized the first velocity-selective Raman transition in collinear laser spectroscopy. Using a $^{88}$Sr$^+$ ion beam, we demonstrate a reduction in the energy width to less than $200\,$meV, which is about an order of magnitude reduction compared to the usage of an optical dipole transition as in previous works. We also investigate two-photon Rabi oscillations and show that their observed collapse is consistent with the simulations.
