Abstract: A review of the results obtained during the development of an industrial technology for laser separation of carbon isotopes using multiphoton dissociation of molecules by pulsed CO2 laser radiation is presented. The key scientific and technical solutions that make it possible to create such a technology are presented. The world’s first industrial facility for the production of enriched carbon isotope 13C is described. The possibility of devising a purely laser two-stage process for obtaining a highly enriched (over 99%) 13C isotope is considered.
Keywords: laser separation of carbon isotopes, multiphoton dissociation of molecules, technical solutions, laser two-stage process, obtaining a highly enriched 1313С isotope.
