This paper discusses the parameters which influence the operation of hollow cathode and deuterium lamps. Examples are given of how parameters can be selected in order to improve the quality of analytical results. Aspects of deuterium lamp operation for background correction are also covered.

The Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF), which has acquired wide applications, is mainly limited to some gaseous elements and low melting-point metals before, for the restriction of the attainable atomic density. In conventional FADOF systems a high atomic density is usually achieved by thermal equilibrium at the saturated vapor pressure, hence for elements with high melting-poi...

Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...

A novel atomic emission spectrometry comprising laser ablation as a sampling source and hollow cathode plasma for the excitation of ablated sample atoms is proposed. In this arrangement, a conventional Grimm-type discharge lamp is employed, but the polarity of the power supply is reversed so that the cylindrical hollow tube acts as a cathode and the glow discharge plasma is produced within this...

We report a robust method of stabilizing laser to the frequency an atomic transition using hollow cathode lamp. In contrast standard dichroic vapor lock (DAVLL) method, which uses dichroism induced by longitudinal magnetic field, we employ birefringence transversal field. applied this $(5s^2)\ {}^{1}S_{0} - (5s5p)\ {}^{1}P_{1}$ (461 nm) Sr. Although is made ferromagnetic material, successfully ...
