description

Abstract Experimental lifetime measurements on free atoms and ions performed by using pulsed laser excitation in the ultraviolet and vacuum-ultraviolet spectral regions are presented. Different methods of laser pulse generation, atomization and light detection are described. A short summary of results obtained is also given. Future possibilities in determination of lifetimes and transition probabilities in the short wavelengths region are discussed.
