Resonance ionization is a process used primarily to selectively ionize specific atoms or molecules through the use of laser radiation. The technique involves exciting an atom to a higher energy state using a laser photon that matches the energy difference between the ground state and an excited state of the atom. Once the atom is in this excited state, a second photon can be used to further ionize it, ejecting an electron and creating an ion.
