“…The second problem is that dielectric surfaces are susceptible to light-induced charging, which results in strong and difficult-to-control forces on the ions, inducing micromotion, large displacements, or even making the ions untrappable [79][80][81]. Nonetheless, these challenges have started to be addressed in the last several years by a number of groups integrating various optical elements with ion traps, including microfabricated phase Fresnel lenses [82,83], embedded micromirrors [84,85] and fibers [45,86], transparent trap electrodes [44], nanophotonic dielectric waveguides [87], macroscopic optical cavities [46,[88][89][90][91], and microscopic, fiber-based cavities [92].…”
