Abstract
Time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence has been used to measure the lifetimes of 43 selected Fe I levels with energies between 25900 and 5 2000 cm-1. A beam of iron atoms from a hollow cathode discharge was ex cited with a tunable dye laser pulse and the fluorescence was measured by means of a fast transient digitizer (1 GHz). The full decay curve could be used for a determination of the lifetimes by including the se parately measured response function of the system in the evaluation pr ocedure. A comparison with literature data is given.
