Abstract
Dehmelt's proposal for an ultimate laser-frequency standard based on a single trapped ion is examined. Density-matrix calculations are developed for a double-resonance scheme which, under favorable circumstances, amplifies a highly forbidden and narrow electronic transition. The advantages of a pulsed excitation scheme are discussed, and the limitations of cw excitation are exposed.
