Spectroscopy and Manipulation of Single Atoms
HERBERT WALTHER · Physica Scripta · 2000
In this paper recent experiments of our group performed with single atoms in cavities and traps are summarized. In the first part experiments with the one-atom maser are described dealing with the generation of number states of the photon field. In the second part of the paper spectroscopy of a single trapped In + ion is discussed being performed with the aim to realize a new frequency standard in the optical range.
