We present a design of a new compact vacuum chamber with an electrical trap for trapping and laser cooling of 40Ca+ and 27Al+ ions. The custom chamber was designed to a minimum dimension to achieve ultra-high vacuum environment and good optical access to trapped ions. Combining the shape of the electrical trap with intrinsic geometrical symmetry and the size of the viewports will allow maximum efficiency of fluorescence collection from ions. The setup is ready for ablation and loading of 40Ca+ and 27Al+ ions to deal with quantum logic experiments for optical clock operation. In combination with magnetic saddle coils, Helmholtz coil and external magnetic shielding made of mu-metal, we achieve a very homogeneous magnetic field in the ion trapping area. The main part of a chamber equipped with viewports is made of titanium to maintain this homogeneous magnetic field and suppress residual fields. The presented setup will allow quantum experiments with single ions and Coulomb crystals in a stable and homogeneous magnetic field, which is necessary for many-ions optical clock systems.
