Nanosecond polarization-resolved laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

چکیده
It is shown that the continuum emission produced in the ablation of an Al target with nanosecond laser pulses is much more strongly polarized than the discrete line emission. This effect may be utilized to improve the resolution of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy spectrum by using a polarizer to filter out the continuum background. The effects of laser fluence and focal position are also reported. It is further shown that the lifetime of the emission closely tracks the intensity spectrum.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of copper with a 2 μm thulium fiber laser
We report the first implementation of a 2 μm thulium fiber laser in a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy system. Emission from plasma on copper samples was analyzed from 200 to 900 nm. The low ablation fluence (<100 J.cm −2 ) and 200 ns pulse duration lead to a plasma with neither continuum emission, nor air emission in the near-infrared region. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (0...
متن کاملPolarization resolved laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of Al.
It is shown that the continuous background of the laser-induced breakdown spectrum of Al produced by 800 nm femtosecond pulses is strongly polarized. Use of a polarizer to filter out the background significantly improves the signal/noise and signal/background ratios of the discrete line spectrum. The effects of the laser pulse energy, focal position, incidence and detection angles, and the pola...

Three strains of Escherichia coli, one strain of environmental mold, and one strain of Candida albicans yeast have been analyzed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy using nanosecond laser pulses. All microorganisms were analyzed while still alive and with no sample preparation. Nineteen atomic and ionic emission lines have been identified in the spectrum, which is dominated by calcium, magn...

Bacterial samples Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis have been analyzed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy LIBS using femtosecond pulses. We compare the obtained spectra with those resulting from the classical nanosecond LIBS. Specific features of femtosecond LIBS have been demonstrated, very attractive for analyzing biological sample: i a lower plasma temperature leading to negligible...
متن کاملEarly stage expansion and time-resolved spectral emission of laser-induced plasma from polymer
In the nanosecond laser ablation regime, absorption of laser energy by the plasma during its early stage expansion critically influences the properties of the plasma and thus its interaction with ambient air. These influences can significantly alter spectral emission of the plasma. For organic samples especially, recombination of the plasma with the ambient air leads to interfering emissions wi...
