1 The pump laser upgrade1: Change from copper vapour laser (CVL) to commercial Nd:YAG laserAim: Maintain or improve the dye laser performance whilst increasing the reliability of the overall system.
2 The dye laser upgrade: 3 New state of the art dye lasers to replace the original dye lasersAim: Improve the dye laser performance, ease of use and reliability, make full use of the capabilities of the new pump laser.
3 Install an independent and complementary Ti:Sa based RILIS laser setup2,3 : 2 pump lasers and 3 Ti:Sa lasers plus harmonic generation unitsAim: Extend the tuning range of the RILIS setup to enable access to the large number of ionization schemes developed for Ti:Sa lasers. Reduce switching time between elements to allow for more condensed scheduling of RILIS runs.

RILIS/LARIS projects for LS1
• Installation of a reference cell at RILIS• Improved motorization of Narrow-band TiSa• Ionization of refractory metals
- Study of laser ionization in VADIS cavity• New and improved RILIS schemes for the Dual RILIS system
- According to requests from ISLODE users: Ba, Te, Cr, Er, …
SPECTROSCOPY and IONIZATION SCHEMES
• Extension of RILIS cabin- Enlarged entrance/storage and work area to maximize the useable laser laboratory space
• A dedicated, high power Nd:YVO laser for non resonant ionization - High beam quality industrial laser could significantly improve efficiency for many schemes.
GENERAL RILIS DEVELOPMENTS
• RILIS machine protection system- Installation of a machine protection and monitoring system to reduce reliance on shift-based operation
• Space stabilization of laser beams- Upgrade of existing commercial system to enable active stabilization of 3 beams and UV beams
• GPS laser beam launch- Replacement of prisms by high-reflectivity dielectric mirrors will reduce the losses of laser power in the
beam transport to GPS mass separator
• HRS laser window - Extension tube for window mounting outside the 90o magnet will enable monitoring of window quality
during operation and simplify its replacement

Blaze laser versus RILIS lasers
Due to the higher beam quality, the laser power that can be delivered through the 3 mm aperture at the reference point is 2.2 times higher than can be achieved with the Edgewave laser that is currently installed.
Test of Ga ionization: Blaze versus EdgeWave
For each power level of the Blaze laser, a considerable change in the telescope focusing was required to regain optimal efficiency.
A likely cause of this effect is thermal lensing due to absorption of the beam at the quartz window of the mass separator.
Power dependent thermal lensing in the beam transport optics is to be eliminated !
HRS laser windowPeriodic replacement is needed because of contamination of internal surface
In the 90o magnet the window is mounted inside the magnet, a special tool is used to extract it, - very complicated operation
Proposal:To make an extension tube to the HRS chamber for mounting the window outside magnet, as at GPS Easy to inspect, easy to replace
Machine protection/safetyDye Leak: Fire hazard; laser damage riskUp to 6 dye circulators each containing up to 3 L of ethanol flowing at 7 L/min.
Water cooling for Ti:Sa crystals. Water cooling network for each dye circulator.
Up to 40 W pump beam focused on dye cell. Almost immediate dye cell damage if dye flow stops.
Dye flow interruption: Fire hazard; laser damage risk

The Ethanol based dye laser medium poses a possible fire hazard and a lack of dye flow can result in damage to the laser cells. Thus, an independently operable and reliable machine protection system is specified to be capable of: Constant surveillance of critical parameters, also published to network Triggering of safety shutters as well as initiating controlled shutdown Sending alerts and status reports for operators via GSM text messages
