Ionization of lithium vapor byCW quasiresonant laser light [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
We report measurements of the excitation and ionization of dense lithium vapor irradiated byCW dye laser light scanning the 22P-32D lithium atomic transition at 610.3 nm. Lithium vapor with a density of 8×1016 cm-3 was ionized by a focused beam with as little as 1 mW of single-frequency laser power. The ionization mechanism has been studied and found to consist of a three stage process in which both atomic and molecular absorption of the laser power, two distinct collisional processes, and single-photon ionization of excited lithium atoms all play essential roles.
