The objective of the project is to perform high-resolution Doppler-free two-photon vibrational spectroscopy on the H2+ molecular ions in order to obtain a direct optical measurement of the electron to proton mass ratio. The H2+ ions must be trapped and cooled but can only be cooled by sympathetic cooling using Be+ laser cooled ions. After a general introduction, the second part of this manuscrit describes ion trapping and presents the linear trap we use to trap H2+ and Be+ ions, as well as the methods used to create Be+ ions either by electronic impact or by photo-ionization of a stream of Be atoms. In the third part we present the state selective H2+ ion source using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) with a 303 nm pulsed la...
