Laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy for improved chemical analysis. Progress report, 1978-1983
This report summarizes the progress achieved over the past five years in the laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) for improved chemical-analysis program. Our initial efforts yielded significantly lower detection limits for trace elemental analysis by the use of both cw and pulsed-laser excitations. New methods of LIFS were developed that were shown to overcome many of the traditional limitations to LIFS techniques. LIFS methods have been applied to yield fundamental scientific data that further the understanding of forces between atoms and other atoms and molecules. In recent work, two-photon ionization was combined with LIFS and applied, for the first time, to the study of energy transfer in ions.
