Abstract A study of the 1s22s2p 3P2-3P1 fine-structure transition in beryllium-like argon is planned on the Oxford electron beam ion trap (EBIT), using laser-induced resonance. This transition wavelength was measured previously as 594.373(4) nm, which is accessible using a dye laser. The ions are produced and excited in the EBIT and are confined during laser irradiation using the magnetic trapping mode. The 3P2 level population is depleted by the laser and by subsequently monitoring the emitted fluorescence a laser resonance signal can be obtained.
