Plasma emission in a pulsed electric field after resonance ionization of atoms

  • 1. Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611-7200 (United States)

Description

A technique is presented which is based on the measurement of the emission of excited buffer gas atoms which are created by interactions with electrons in a strong pulsed electric field after laser assisted ionization of analyte atoms. In principle, this emission method can be applied for the detection of single atoms, molecules, or photons
