The first optical absorption from excited states to autoionizing core-excited levels has been observed in lithium. A 1-MW dye laser tuned to the 1 s 2 2 s→ 1 s 2 2 p resonance produced∼ 10 16 excited atoms/cm 2 in a heat-pipe oven. Far-uv absorption spectra of Li*(2 p) and Li+ were obtained. A curve of the evolution from excited neutrals to∼ 95% ions is presented, and the significance of the Li observations for understanding the ionization mechanism is discussed.
