Interference and coincidence detection of two photons emitted by two remote ions can lead to an entangled state which is a critical resource for scalable quantum information processing. Currently, the success probabilities of experimental realizations of this protocol are mainly limited by low coupling efficiency of a photon emitted by an ion into a single mode fiber. Here, we consider two strategies to enhance the collection probability of a photon emitted from a trapped Yb ion, using analytic methods that can be easily applied to other types of ion or neutral atoms. Our analysis shows that we can achieve fiber coupling efficiency of over 30% with an optical cavity made of a flat fiber tip and a spherical mirror. We also investigate ways to increase the fiber coupling efficiency using high numerical aperture optics, and show that collection probability of over 15% is possible with proper control of aberration.
