Laser separation of isotopes

A survey approach to the field of laser separation of isotopes is the basis of this review which supplements at least two previous reviews that are cited. The important ideas, methods, and experimental results in the field are considered without an examination of secondary problems and doubtful results being undertaken. It is emphasized that selective photophysical and photochemical methods for laser isotope separation will find fundamental and practical applications well outside the isotope separation problem. 113 references are cited
