Design, Assembly and Geometric Characterization of Linear Paul Trap using Solidworks, Microscope, and Collimated Laser Beam

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, the schematics of a linear Paul trap, designed using Solid works are presented. A careful procedure followed during electrode alignment, under the microscope, is discussed in detail. The assembled linear Paul trap is then characterized using a collimated 369 nm laser beam and the results are presented, analyzed, and discussed. The trap geometric parameters found in this work help guide the trap compensation with static potentials and characterization ofthe stability diagram of the ion trap.
