We have proposed an advanced technique to measure the 93mNb yield precisely
by Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry, instead of conventional characteristic
X-ray spectroscopy. 93mNb-selective resonance ionization is achievable by distinguishing
the hyperfine splitting of the atomic energy levels between 93Nb and 93mNb at high
resolution. In advance of 93mNb detection, we could successfully demonstrate high
resolution resonant ionization spectroscopy of stable 93Nb using an all solid-state, narrowband
and tunable Ti:Sapphire laser system operated at 1 kHz repetition rate.
