Abstract

Recent work is presented on the search for the weak electric octupole transition in a single cold ion of the odd-isotope ¹⁷¹Yb⁺ and includes new ¹⁷¹Yb⁺ spectroscopy on two other reference transitions in the optical and infra-red regions, which are used to locate the octupole transition. A successful observation of this ¹⁷¹Yb⁺ ²S_1/2-²F_7/2 reference transition is presented
