Diode laser excited optogalvanic spectroscopy of glow discharges

Description/Abstract

The development of diode-laser-excited isotopically-selective optogalvanic spectroscopy (OGS) of uranium metal, oxide and fluoride in a glow discharge (GD) is presented. The technique is useful for determining {sup 235}U/({sup 235}U+{sup 238}U) isotope ratios in these samples. The precision and accuracy of this determination is evaluated, and a study of experimental parameters pertaining to optimization of the measurement is discussed. Application of GD-OGS to other f-transition elements is also described. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
