Wikipedia
Silex
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. But in contrast to earlier MLIS techniques developed since the 1970s, it does not dissociate the molecule.
