Abstract
Diode-laser isotope enrichment of rubidium by magnetic deflection of a polarized atomic beam has been experimentally studied with laser-indu ced fluorescence detection. The abundance of Rb-85 was enhanced from t he natural value of 72.8% to 97% and that of Rb-87, from 27.2% to 83%. The results were compared with those with hot-wire detection.
