This talk presents experimental realisations towards an optical frequency standard based on a single trapped calcium ion. These realizations concern the control on the ion motion in the radiofrequency trap and the frequency stabilization of the clock laser. Finally, new perspectives opened by a three photon coherent process in trapped ions are studied in the prospect of terahertz metrology.
