Kastler discovered that by irradiating atoms with specially polarized light, he could push electrons into higher energy levels, effectively "pumping" them into a specific, ordered state. Production of 203Pb from enriched 205Tl using deuteron

Kastler’s groundbreaking technique, developed alongside Jean Brossel, is known as "optical pumping."
