Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy of Argon, Krypton, and Xenon Using Vacuum Ultraviolet Light

摘要

Resonant, single-photon excitation of ground state inert gases requires light in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region. This paper discusses methods for generating this light. Efficient schemes for ionizing argon, krypton, and xenon using resonant, stepwise single-photon excitation are presented. (ERA citation 09:029558)
