Description
At ISOLDE RILIS the resonance ionization of isotopes is provided by high pulse rate dye lasers. Till 2008 the dye lasers were pumped by copper vapor lasers built in Russia and delivered to CERN on 1989. With the progress in laser technology it became possible to replace the copper vapor lasers by contemporary solid state lasers. In spring 2008 a 100W Nd:YAG laser has been installed at RILIS. The first year of RILIS operation with the new laser was rather successful in spite of few technical problems. Plan of further upgrade and development of RILIS laser system will be presented.
