Abstract

Multi-photon absorption within the small focus of an intense pulsed laser beam leads to an efficient ionization of the absorbing molecules. The point-like ionization region and the peculiar multi-photon excitation mechanism make for an ideal ion source for a mass spectrometer. It is shown that a reflecting-field time-of-flight configuration in connection with laser multi-photon ionization yields a mass resolution of m/Δ m ∼ 4000.
