Abstract: We consider the selectivity obtained by laser photoionisation of the ¹⁷⁷Lu radioisotope according to the three-stage 5d 6s² ²D_3/2 – 5d 6s 6p ⁴F_5/2^o – 5d 6s7s ⁴D_3/2 – (53375 cm^-1)_1/2^o scheme from the viewpoint of the task of isolating the radionuclide for medical use. The selectivity attained through various photoionisation channels and the impact of multiphoton processes and the laser radiation spectrum on the photoionisation selectivity are investigated.

Keywords: laser photoionisation, ¹⁷⁷Lu radionuclide, three-stage scheme.
