Abstract

The formation of Hertzian coherence of equal-parity states in trapped ions by the application of double-resonance interaction schemes has produced ultra-narrow resonances with quality factors on the order of 1011. Optical coherences of equal-parity states may be responsible for the identification of finer details of the excitation spectrum of single trapped ions at weel as for some novel contributions to their mechanical interaction with light. These effects seem tob e undetectable in gases since collisions are present adn the interaction time is limited.
