Laser isotope separation
Description
An isotope separation process using intense IR laser light is described, which comprises irradiating an isotopic mixture of conditions where one isotope is selectively excited and absorbs more than one photon to form a vibrationally excited compound. A thermal electron then combines with the compound to form negative ions which undergo molecular decomposition to form an ion fragment which can be separated from the isotopic mixture
