Abstract :
The authors proceed with a research and development of an optical frequency standard based on the 2S1/2 - 2 D5/2 transition of 43Ca+ in a RF trap. For this purpose, motional sidebands of a single 40Ca + ion were observed and a stable laser-diode system for spectroscopy of 43Ca+ are being developed
