Abstract

Capture and ejection of ions in electrostatic ion-beam traps and multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR-ToF) devices can be accomplished by pulsing the potential of only a single drift tube inside of the device in contrast to the conventional switching of the ion-mirror voltages. In addition to its simplicity, the new method allows to set the position of the time-focus plane at a given ion detector or ion-beam separator without the need of any further hardware. The position can be adjusted easily by the choice of the pulse height of the potential switch.
