Stand-off detection of organic samples using filament-induced breakdown spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
As an alternative to focusing nanosecond pulses for stand-off LIBS detection of energetic materials, we use self-channeled femtosecond pulses from a Ti:Sapphire laser to produce filaments at 12 meters and create a plasma on copper, graphite and polyisobutylene film. We show the possibilities of this Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy configuration for thin organic sample detection on a surface at a distance.

Test of a stand-off laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy sensor for the detection of explosive residues on solid surfaces
The detection and characterization of energetic materials at distances up to 45 m using stand-off laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been demonstrated. A field-portable open-path LIB spectrometer working under a coaxial configuration was used. A preliminary study allowed choosing a single-pulse laser source over a double-pulse system as the most suitable source for the stand-off an...
متن کاملDiscrimination of composite graphite samples using remote filament-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
Remote filament-induced breakdown spectroscopy (R-FIBS) using ultrashort laser pulses was used to measure the carbon/clay ratios between three graphite composites of different hardness at a standoff distance of approximately 6 m. Measurements using R-FIBS and femtosecond laser-induced breakdown (fs-LIBS) reveal similar selectivity and ability to excite emission. Comparison of the two stand-off ...

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) technique for stand-off detection of geological samples for use on landers and rovers to Mars, and for other space applications. For space missions, LIBS analysis capabilities must be investigated and instrumental development is required to take into account constraints such as size, weight, power...
متن کاملStand-off Raman spectroscopic detection of minerals on planetary surfaces.
We have designed and developed two breadboard versions of stand-off Raman spectroscopic systems for landers based on a 5-in. Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope and a small (4-in. diameter) Newtonian telescope receiver. These systems are capable of measuring the Raman spectra of minerals located at a distance of 4.5-66 m from the telescope. Both continuous wave (CW) Ar-ion and frequency doubled Nd:YA...
متن کاملThe effect of self-absorption correction using internal reference on determining heavy metals concentration by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
The identification and concentration of heavy metals, which may be so harmful for the body, is determined by the method of calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy using a special strategy. First, the plasma temperature is obtained using the Boltzmann plot. Then, a line with an inappreciable self-absorption is considered for each element as the reference. The modified intensities o...
