Abstract

We demonstrate the controlled creation of a Yb ion by photo-ionizing Yb with weak continuous-wave lasers at ultraviolet wavelengths. The photo-ionization is performed by resonantly exciting transitions of the Yb ion in three steps. Starting from an ion crystal of two laser-cooled Yb ions localized in a radio-frequency trap, the verification of the ionization process is performed by characterizing the properties of the resulting mixed-species ion-crystal. The obtained results facilitate fundamental studies of physics involving Yb ions.
