Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to perform isotope identification by applying an acoustic wave to an acousto-optic device to induce a frequency shift in the optical beam; adjusting the frequency of the acoustic wave to match the energy level transition of an isotope; exciting the isotope to a higher energy level through absorption of the frequency-shifted optical beam; and detecting the resulting energy level transition of the isotope.
