Sm scheme 2
Notes
Used at: CERN
Lasers used: Ti:sapphire
Used: online
Notes:
- laser to surface about factor 10 with a GdB6 at 1500C
- AI scanned with second blue laser, no other state found within ±5cm-1
- looks saturated with about 1.2W of blue before the launch
- yields comparable with previous 3-step dye scheme
- 31% efficiency at stable beam test at MEDICIS, including surface-ionized fraction. Enhancement factor ~2 with Re ion source at 2100C
