N2 - We perform laser spectroscopy of Yb + ions on the 4f146s2S 1/2-4f135d6s 3D[ 3/2]1/2 transition at 297 nm. The frequency measurements for 170Yb +, 172Yb +, 174Yb +, and 176Yb + reveal the specific mass shift as well as the field shifts. In addition, we demonstrate laser cooling of Yb + ions using this transition and show that light at 297 nm can be used as the second step in the photoionization of neutral Yb atoms. © 2012 American Physical Society.
