SELECTIVE EXCITATION SPECTROSCOPY.

Abstract

A new approach to the attainment of localized information has been proposed and is currently being studied. This technique, which is referred to as 'selective excitation spectroscopy', involves selective optical pumping of a specific atomic transition. The main advantages of this approach compared to Thomson scattering are that lower density plasmas could be studied with less perturbation and with minimal discrimination required against scattered laser radiation.
