Description
POSTPONED
Laser Isotope Separation of Uranium (Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation) has stimulated these last 20 past years, a number of studies on oscillator strength measurements. This interest for oscillator strength measurements is related to the importance of this parameter for scaling a future plant, since this parameter determines the laser fluences needed for effective atomic photoionization. This presentation will review several techniques (saturation, branching ratio+lifetime, Rabi oscillation, Autler Townes) which have been used by CEA at Saclay. Examples of results for atomic uranium are given, advantages and disadvantages, accuracy and limitations of each method are discussed.
