Abstract

This report is the 14th in a series on Spectrochemical Methods of Analysis issued by IUPAC Commission V.4. Because of the complexity and the lack of uniformity of the present nomenclature (e.g. "2 step excited resonance fluorescence", "resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization", etc.) a new way is needed to describe these transitions. The aim of this document is therefore to present a new notation, the IUPAC Notation, to describe the various processes involved in atomic laser spectroscopy. Using a few assumptions as detailed below, this notation has the advantage of being simple and systematic. States and processes can be described in a general way irrespective of the type of laser spectrometry.
