Abstract
Laser ion sources based on resonant excitation and ionization of atoms are well-established tools for
selective and efficient production of radioactive ion beams. Recent developments are focused on the
use of the state-of-the-art all solid-state laser systems. To date, 35 elements of the periodic table are available from laser ion sources based on tunable Ti:sapphire lasers. Recent progress in this field regarding the establishment of suitable optical excitation schemes for Ti:sapphire lasers are
reported.
