Abstract

Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (RIS) is one of the most powerful laser-based analytical techniques available to scientists. It is a very versatile method capable of, in the limit, detecting a single stable thermal-energy atom in a specific quantum state in the presence of an overwhelmingly larger number of other atoms of a different species. It is highly selective and has very good spatial and temporal resolution. It may be used with pulsed or cw lasers.
