Cold trapped ions are one of the most precise platforms to probe light matter interaction, due to the high level of control and isolation from the environment. Recently, it was shown that by using beams with orbital angular momentum, quadrupole transitions of a single 40Ca+ ion can be excited when placing the ion in places where the light intensity vanishes [1, 2]. In this work, we present a method to take advantage of this effect to perform an analogous of Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy (STED) [3] to image the wave function of a single trapped ion.
