Abstract: | An experimental demonstration of a novel all-optical technique for loading ion traps, which has particular application to
microtrap architectures, is presented. The technique is based on photoionisation of an atomic beam created by pulsed laser
ablation of a calcium target, and provides improved temporal control compared to traditional trap loading methods. Ion loading
rates as high as 125 ions per second have so far been observed. Also described are observations of trap loading where Rydberg
state atoms are photoionised by the ion Doppler cooling laser.
