Phys. Rev. A 54, 4461–4463 (1996)Isotopically selective atom counting using photon burst detectionReceived 4 March 1996; published in the issue dated November 1996 Photon burst detection is used to count Mg+ ions in a 500-eV beam with high optical isotopic selectivity. Background rates of less than 1 count in 2 h have been achieved corresponding to an optical abundance sensitivity of 2×10-8. © 1996 The American Physical Society. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
