Abstract

A set-up including three dye lasers pumped by a N2-laser for selective multistep ionization of atomic beam is described. The experiment is designed not only for spectroscopic investigation but for analytical use too. The application of the described set-up is briefly discussed. Some results on experimentally investigated highly-excited Rydberg states of Thulium are reported. Model potential calculations allow correct assignment of the spectra to be carried out. Non-hydrogen behaviour of the Rydberg states of rare-earth atoms is discussed.
