Abstract

An enhancement of several orders of magnitude in the laser ablation signal of Al, Ga and Ca was observed in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer by tuning the ablation laser to known resonant transitions. At low fluences the enhancement at resonance occurs at the known transition wavelengths and is less than 0.05 nm wide.
