Abstract

We present a design for an atomic oven suitable for loading ion traps, which is operated via optical heating with a continuous-wave multimode diode laser. The absence of the low-resistance electrical connections necessary for Joule heating allows the oven to be extremely well thermally isolated from the rest of the vacuum system, and for an oven filled with calcium we achieve a number density suitable for rapid ion loading in the target region with 200 mW of laser power, limited by radiative losses. With simple feedforward to the laser power, the turn-on time for the oven is less than 20 s, while the oven contains enough calcium to operate continuously for many thousands of years without replenishment.
