Ultra Trace Determination Scheme for26Al by High-Resolution Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry using a Pulsed Ti:Sapphire Laser

2008

We propose an ultra trace analysis approach for 26Al by high-resolution Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry (RIMS) using a pulsed narrow band-width Ti:Sapphire laser. For ensuring efficient ionization and high isotopic selectivity in RIMS of Al, we developed an injection seeded pulsed Ti:Sapphire laser with high repetition rate operation at up to 10 kHz. The laser produced an output power of 2 W and a spectral band-width of ~20 MHz with a repetition rate of 7 kHz. A first demonstration of its performance was done by detecting stable 27Al using RIMS.

Development of accelerator mass spectrometry assisted by isotope-selective laser photodetachment for monitoring 129I

2013

Abstract A prototype system was developed to investigate an isotope-selective laser photodetachment technique for a 129 I accelerator mass spectrometer. A pulsed ion source for negative iodine ions (I − ) that employed laser ablation proved to be suitable for isotope-selective laser photodetachment. Laser photodetachment of pulsed negative iodine ions was estimated to have an efficiency of about 81% based on a model calculation for the prototype system with a tunable pulsed Ti:sapphire laser.

Tunability of Injection Seeded High-Repetition Rate Ti:Sapphire Laser Far Off the Gain Peak

2009

We have investigated a tunability of a high‐repetition rate Ti:Sapphire laser seeded off the gain peak. By applying a birefringent filter, the 7 kHz injection seeded Ti:Sapphire laser system was operated with the average seeding efficiency of over 90% and the output power of over 1 W on the spectral range of 900–930 nm. We conclude that the birefringent filter suited for widely tunable operation of the injection seeded Ti:Sapphire laser system operated at high repetition rate.
