Abstract
In this paper, we report the investigations of lifetime measurement of odd-parity energy level 19009.52 cm−1 of Sm I using simultaneous detection of laser-induced fluorescence and laser-induced photoionization signals employing pump–probe technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is for the first time that the results obtained using laser-induced fluorescence and photoionization techniques have been compared with each other. The obtained results match well with those reported in the literature.
