Abstract
The fluorescence from Yb+ ions trapped in an rf trap was detected by driving the2S1/2−2P1/2 transition at 369.52 nm with the radiation generated by sum-frequency mixing of diode-laser and argon-ion-laser radiation. The rf resonance absorption signal as well as the fluorescence signal, when the Yb+ ions were continuously irradiated by the resonant uv radiation, faded out with a decay time shorter than the storage time. This observation suggests that the Yb+ ions disappeared from the trap with the irradiation of the resonant uv radiation.
