The positive ion yield resulting from the interaction of a pulsed 266-nm laser with yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia crystals is investigated. Although the photon energy (4.66 eV) is well below the nominal band-gap energy for ZrO2 (5.0-5.5 eV), photon stimulated ion desorption (PSD) of Y+, Zr+, YO+ and ZrO+ begins at ~ 2.5 MW/cm2.
