Abstract: A system and method for using a high-performance photoionization subsystem are disclosed. Embodiments of the present disclosure employ narrow bandwidth laser radiation to selectively excite ionizing resonant states of gaseous atoms in electric fields. This subsystem and method may be incorporated in an ion source producing ions by photoionizing gaseous atoms; the resultant ions may be employed to efficiently produce an ion beam of high brightness.
