description

Abstract The FURIOS laser ion source at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyvaskyla has been moved to a new location as a part of the IGISOL-4 facility. The laser ion source project had a high priority which allowed the transport of laser light to be optimized during the design phase. The laser resonators have been upgraded with a dual etalon configuration leading to greatly reduced laser linewidth. The transport efficiency of the dual-chamber gas cell has been determined using an alpha recoil source, with efficiencies ranging from a few percent in the beam interaction chamber to nearly 20% in the ionization chamber. In addition, we present recent results from the re-commissioning of the laser system on stable copper isotopes.
