I would like to know whether you think it's possible to ionize metal vapors(or maybe even gases) in a Na vapor lamp for example with a low powered aka handheld laser.
I know you can't do that with gases but their ionization energy is more than twice as high as those you need for alkali metals.
Of course absorption is an important factor there.
If anyone tried this or got some scientific information please reply! :beer:
