Abstract
We propose a deterministic source of single photons based on the vacuum-stimulated Raman transition of a single Ca+ ion trapped inside a high finesse cavity. Assuming realistic experimental parameters, the efficiency of photon emission into the cavity mode reaches 95%.

DEUTSCHE PHYSIKALISCHE GESELLSCHAFT requires the ability to precisely and stationary place the atom at a fixed position within the cavity field
We study the implementation of a deterministic source of single photons based on the vacuum-stimulated Raman transition of a single Ca+ ion trapped inside a high finesse cavity
We have presented theoretical calculations based on realistic parameters for deterministic singlephoton generation from a single trapped ion
Summary
In a three-level -system, as depicted in figure 1, with two ground states |1 and |3 , one can, in principle, coherently transfer the whole population from one ground state to the other. The general scheme investigated is a -system initially prepared in state |1 and emitting a single photon upon transition between states |2 and |3
