Laser spectroscopy of indium Rydberg atom bunches by electric field ionization

摘要

( ) A schematic diagram of the layout of the modified CRIS experiment, to use field ionization. Electrostatic deflectors guide the ions created by ablation to be neutralised. Atoms are excited to Rydberg states by amulti-step resonant laser scheme, and are subsequently field ionized and counted by an ion detector. ( ) The time-of-flight distribution of the bunch created by the ablation ion source. Figure created using Refs. .
