Laser isotope separation

The laser isotope separation ( from the English laser isotope separation ) is a product now used in the uranium enrichment process for the separation of isotopes by laser technology.

In which method the isotopes are converted into an atomic state in the vapor phase and is separated by means of laser radiation and narrow-band high frequency stability. This method is atomic vapor laser isotope separation, or AVLIS briefly mentioned. Alternatively, the isotope may be bound to molecules and they are also separated by means of laser radiation. This is molecular laser isotope separation, or MLIS briefly mentioned.
