Trapped ions excited to Rydberg states combines high controllability of trapped ions with high polarisability and long lifetimes of Rydberg states[1,2]. We present the two step excitation of trapped 40Ca+ ions to Rydberg states, using laser systems at 213nm and 287nm wavelengths. Laser beams are configured in counter-propagating manner such that the line broadening due to the Doppler effect is mitigated. The ion trap is operated at 14.6 MHz drive frequency and features secular frequencies near 600, 1200, 1600 kHz. We also discuss our experimental results obtained by spectroscopy of S and D series in order to optimize the micromotion control, determine line shapes and quantum defects[3] and compare to theory predictions.
