| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to show that the particle diffusion and the structure of plasmas in the vicinity of the liquid-solid phase transition of a laser-cooled plasma. Since the traditional laser-induced fluorescence measurement can destroy the state of the laser-cooled plasma, development of a non-destructive measurement technique is required. We proposed an imaging technique of particle diffusion in the binary-component laser-cooled plasmas. A strontium ion source and a laser system for the laser cooling of strontium ions were integrated into the existing calcium-ion laser-cooling experiment setup. By mixing strontium ions and calcium ions, we can visualize the diffusion of the each ions. Since it is important to visualize all ions, external cavity diode laser systems were also developed for isotope selection using a photo ionization techniques
