Using fast electronics and a short (34 ns) laser pulse, it was possible to distinguish, in one single time-resolved ionization waveform, the non-selective photoionization component of the signal from that which was due to collisional ionization from selected levels. Experimental results were shown to agree with those obtained by computer simulation, and optimal conditions for deconvolution of the two components were studies. }, title = {Analytical Time Resolved Laser Enhanced Ionization Spectroscopy.
