Abstract

We report on our system and scheme for single-ion spectroscopy of the ²S_1/2(F=0)−²D_3/2(F=2) clock transition in ¹⁷¹Yb⁺. Spectroscopy of the clock transition requires decoupling of the ²D_3/2(F=2) state from the laser cooling cycle. We investigate this decoupling of the ²D_3/2(F=2) state by using independent light sources for driving of all the transitions between the hyperfine structures contained in the cooling and repumping transitions. We observe the carrier spectrum of the m_F = 0 − m_F’ = 0 magnetic-insensitive transition with a spectral width of 380 Hz.
