Abstract
Cadmium ions in a natural isotope mixture have been trapped in a linear Paul trap and laser cooled. The fluorescence spectra from all even isotopes, including the (108)Cd(+) isotopes with a natural abundance of 0.89%, were observed. Additionally, we eliminated the heavier isotopes from the trapping region by adjusting the tuning of the laser frequency and by changing the dc voltage applied to the end electrodes.
