Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 538–541 (2000)Motional Sidebands and Direct Measurement of the Cooling Rate in the Resonance Fluorescence of a Single Trapped IonReceived 20 March 2000; published in the issue dated 17 July 2000 Resonance fluorescence of a single trapped ion is spectrally analyzed using a heterodyne technique. Motional sidebands due to the oscillation of the ion in the harmonic trap potential are observed in the fluorescence spectrum. From the width of the sidebands the cooling rate is obtained and found to be in agreement with the theoretical prediction. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
