Abstract
Although single ions in electromagnetic traps have been studied in vacuum for about three decades, seeing single ions embedded in solid matrices has remained elusive. The most stable and well-understood ions are the rare earths with examples such as Eu3+, Er3+, and Nd3+. Detection of such emitters is mainly hampered by a weak transition dipole moment and thus a low detection signal. Furthermore, strong dephasing caused by the coupling to the matrix poses problems in addressing single emitters in frequency space.
