摘要
To obtain a Doppler-free resolution, we employ phaseconjugate degenerate four-wave mixing (PCDFWM) to isotope selectively analyze Li-6 and Li-7 in a graphite furnace atomizer. After the investigation of concentration and power dependences of PCDFWM, the optimal sample concentration and power conjugation are determined. Under the optimized conditions, we measured Li-7/Li-6 isotope ratio in Li standard solution with PCDFWM to be 11.571 +/- 0.003, which is in good agreement with the value calculated by atomic absorption spectroscopy but has a preferable resolution. The detection limit as 15.54 ng/mL is achieved. The information obtained from this paper suggests that PCDFWM is a reliable laser spectroscopic technique with high resolution in isotope ratiomeasurement and trace analysis for various applications such as geochemical exploration.
