Separation of isotopes by laser excitation (SILEX) is a process for isotope separation that is being investigated to produce enriched uranium on an industrial scale using lasers. It was developed in the 1990s and is a variant of molecular laser isotope separation (MLIS). For uranium, it uses a cold molecular beam with UF6 in a carrier gas, in which the 235UF6 is selectively excited by an infrared laser near 16 µm. The nonexcited molecules tend to form clusters with the carrier gas and stay closer to the axis of the molecular beam, so that they pass a skimmer and are thus separated from the excited lighter isotopes. In contrast to earlier MLIS techniques developed since the 1970s, this method does not dissociate the molecule. More information...
