Sodium Concentration Measurements Using Laser Induced Fluorescence.

Abstract

An experimental system to detect small concentrations of atoms and molecules through the method of laser induced fluorescence is assembled and characterized. A tunable dye laser is used as the excitation source, and sodium is used as a test sample. Sodium is detected in concentrations down to 3790/cc. (Author)
