Abstract
A dense barium vapour is illuminated by an intense (2 kW), 1 mu s long, dye laser pulse. The hook technique using an N2 laser pumped dye laser as a background light source is demonstrated as a fast tool to measure the temporal change in level populations of neutral and ionised barium atoms, with a time resolution of 10 ns.Keywords
