Laser-induced resonances in high n states of hydrogen-like 19F8+

Abstract
A laser resonance technique using Doppler tuning has been applied to measure transitions between highly excited states of highly ionized fluorine. Resonance transitions between n=9 and n=10 levels of 19F8+ with a mean wavelength of 4796.06±0.24 Å were observed. This wavelength is close to the calculated value of 4796.16 Å for the wavelength of the 92L17/2–102M19/2 transition.
