Abstract

ABSTRACT: We describe our development of resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) using continuous-wave lasers toward the measurement of isotopic ratios important in geochemistry and geochronology. Specifically, we compare the precision and accuracy of 230Th/232Th isotopic ratios measured by cw RIMS using both broad-band and narrow-band lasers. We also discuss the effectiveness of frequency-stabilizing techniques, i.e., external frequency locking of a broad-band dye laser and computer-controlled frequency centering of a narrow-band Ti:sapphire laser.
