Abstract

Resonance on a weak signal line of a single cold ion appears at the maximum rate of intermittent quenching the fluorescence on a resonance line: The m=0/spl rarr/0 ground state hyperfine transition of a single /sup 171/Yb/sup +/ and the S/sub 1/2 /-D/sub 5/2/ quadrupole line of /sup 138/Ba/sup +/ may control a 12.6-GHz oscillator or 1.76-/spl mu/m laser, respectively, with less than 10/sup -16/ inaccuracy.<>
