Rare-earth ions are promising candidates for optically addressable spin qubits, owing to their long optical and spin coherence times. Yb3+ is of special interest among the rare earth ions due to its simple energy level scheme, comparably strong transition oscillator strength and its paramagnetic properties. An efficient spin-photon interface for quantum information technology requires the coupling of single ions to a high finesse cavity, which serves to enhance the transitions via the Purcell effect and to increase the emission into a single, well-collectible cavity mode. The goal of our experiment is to address single Yb3+ ions in Y2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) by placing them inside a high finesse fiber based Fabry-Pérot cavity at cryogenic temperatures. To characterize the nanoparticles, we perform ensemble spectroscopy in an all-fiber setup. For quick sample preparation, we investigate picking and placing of single NPs on the end facet of optical fibers. An external reference cavity is set up to stabilize the laser linewidth below the homogenous linewidth of Yb3+, which will enable selective addressing of single Yb3+ ions.
