Abstract

We report on the alteration of photon emission properties of a single trapped ion coupled to a high finesse optical fiber cavity. We show that the vacuum field of the cavity can simultaneously affect the emissions in both the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) branches of the Λ−type level system of 40Ca+ despite the cavity coupling only to the IR transition. The cavity induces strong emission in the IR transition through the Purcell effect resulting in a simultaneous suppression of the UV fluorescence. The measured suppression of this fluorescence is as large as 66% compared with the case without the cavity. Through analysis of the measurement results, we have obtained an ion-cavity coupling of gbar0 = 2π · (5.3 ± 0.1) MHz, the largest ever reported so far for a single ion in the IR domain.
