Section: abstract

A charge-exchange device is disclosed which is able to considerably reduce, without the use of foils, radio activation caused by a beam deflection angle and, which also implements a further efficiency and reduction of a laser output. The charge-exchange device is provided with an undulator and an optical resonator. The undulator magnetic field which has been generated by the undulator generates the Lorentz electric field by interaction with the relativistic velocity of H.sup.0 neutral beam being injected. The optical resonator amplifies the photon density of the laser beam and causes it to collide against the injected H.sup.0 neutral beam, thereby resonantly exciting the H.sup.0 beam to the principal quantum number of 4. The H.sup.0 beam which has been resonantly excited or excited by the relativistic Doppler effect in the undulator magnetic field is ionized to H.sup.+ ion by the Lorentz electric field.
