The laser ionization efficiency of the Leuven gas cell-based laser ion source at the LISOL facility was investigated under on- and off-line conditions using two distinctly
different laser systems - a medium repetition rate dye laser system (200 Hz) as well a high repetition rate Ti:sapphire laser system (10 kHz). A systematic study of the ion signal dependence on repetition rate and laser pulse energy was performed in off-line tests on stable cobalt and copper isotopes. Off-line studies also included high resolution in-jet laser spectroscopy measurements of the hyperfine structure of 63Cu and the investigation of laser ion pulse time profiles.
A final on-line run with the short-lived radioisotope 59Cu showed a very comparable yield from the two laser systems for in-cell ionization, however, a considerable advantage of using the high-repetition rate system for in-jet laser ionization within the sextupole extraction structure could be demonstrated.
