Abstract
Disclosed is an ion carousel having a first surface and a second surface adjacent to the first surface. The second surface includes a first inner array of electrodes arranged along a first loop path and configured to receive a first ion packet and a second ion packet temporally separated from the first ion packet by a separation time. The first inner array of electrodes generates a traveling waveform which includes a plurality of potential wells that travel along the first loop path and receive ions from the first and second ion packets. The plurality of potential wells include at least a first potential well and a second potential well. An output switch is configured to selectively eject ions from the first potential well out of the carousel at time T1 and eject ions from the second potential well out of the carousel at time T2.
