An active ion source, LEVIS (Laser EVaporation Ion Source), using a short pulsed Nd laser (1.06 m, 8ns) for form a thin Li vapor layer and a tuned dye laser (670.8 nm, 1{mu}sec) for ionization is being developed at Sandia. The LEVIS process has been developed and characterized in the laboratory. Initial experiments using these ion sources on PBFA-II produced ion beams with a low fraction of lithium ions and with low voltages. Recent experiments using improved distribution optics and anode cleaning techniques are described.
