Abstract
From its beginning, Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (RIS) [1] has been recognized as a method for the ionization of matter which is spectroscopically selective and has one-atom sensitivity. Prior to the development of RIS for sensitive analytical purposes, similar laser ionization schemes were proposed [2] for the separation of isotopes. Two-step selective photoionization of Rb atoms was reported [3] by AMBARTSUMYAN, KALININ, and LETOKHOV in 1971. For further information on the history of RIS and the use of various laser methods for sensitive detection of atoms, the reader is referred to recent reviews [4–6].
