A new laser ion source is under development at the IGISOL (Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line) mass separator facility in Jyväskylä, Finland. Two laser systems have been installed to provide access to as broad a range of elements as possible. One system uses well-known dye laser technology, the other uses solid state pump and titanium sapphire lasers. Several techniques are being pursued to improve both the isobaric purity and efficiency of exotic radioactive beams. One method uses pulsed lasers to ionize atoms after they have flowed out of the gas volume, within a radio-frequency sextupole (SPIG) guide. This is a variation of the so-called Laser Ion Source Trap (LIST) method and will be discussed in these proceedings. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
