We just observed the first fluorescence of Yb in the vacuum chamber of our new experiment: the fuzzy white line in the photo is caused by hot Yb atoms scattering light from a 399nm beam. Now that we know that there is Yb vapor in our chamber, we will proceed to laser-cooling these atoms with multiple beams.
First glow of Ytterbium First glow of Ytterbium
First glow of ytterbium!
