Description
A mm thick, 1016 - 1017 cm-3 Li plasma may be the ion source for the PBFA II Applied-B ion diode. BOLVAPS (boil-off lithium vapor source) is a technique for making a thin layer of Li vapor by rapid ohmic heating of a thin-film laminate, one layer of which contains Li. LIBORS (laser ionization based on resonance saturation) is a technique for ionizing Li using light tuned to the 670.8 nm Li transition. The authors are fabricating and evaluating prototype BOLVAPS anodes using alumina and enameled substrates. In this paper, they describe the BOLVAPS/LIBORS scheme in detail, review its underlying physics, outline the major materials and electrical engineering challenges, and present the status of plasma source experiments
