激光诱导Ca等离子体温度的实验研究

 等离子体温度是激光诱导击穿光谱测量中一个重要的因素。采用Nd:YAG脉冲激光器作为光源击穿样品形成等离子体，其发射光谱由中阶梯光栅光谱仪和ICCD进行分光和光电转换。通过实验得出了300~450 nm波段的光谱图，定性分析出了Ca Ⅱ 315.9, 317.9, 393.4, 396.9 nm和Ca Ⅰ 422.7 nm等发射谱线。根据激光诱导击穿光谱定量公式，等离子体温度的变化对谱线强度有影响。先假设实验中等离子体处于局部热平衡状态，选用Ca的4条一价离子谱线，根据Boltzmann斜线法计算出了等离子体温度，并得到了等离子体温度与Ca质量分数的关系。随着Ca质量分数的增加，等离子体温度也相应增加。但当Ca质量分数小于0.50%时等离子体温度增加的幅度较小，而质量分数大于0.50%时等离子体温度的上升幅度相对较大。最后经过验证，实验中等离子体处于局部热平衡状态的假设成立。

Quantitative visualization of the laser induced plume behavior using quasi-heterodyne holographic interferometry

It is very important that we understand the dynamic behaviors of the laser induced plume in welding, because the laser induced plume has considerable effects on welding efficiency and the quality of materials. Many experimental studies have been performed in order to observe the plume behaviors using a visualization method. In this paper, we describe the visualization and quantification of the laser induced plumes by pulse holographic interferometry. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser was used for the generation of laser induced plume and a Q-switched Ruby laser was employed to record the weld plume. For qualitative visualization of the laser induced plume, we used the double-exposure holographic interferometry. Then, we chose the quasi-heterodyne holographic interferometry with the dual-reference-beam and phase shifting in order to visualize the plume quantitatively. The experimental results show the visible behavior of the laser induced plume according to a change in the output power of the pulsed Nd:YAG laser and the time delay of Q-switched Ruby laser. Finally, we obtained the quantitative results by using the dual-reference-beam.

Measurement of laser beam transmittance through laser produced vapour plume

Laser produced plume, consisting of vapor front and ejected substrate on the workpiece surface, is an intermediate between the incident laser beam and the workpiece on which the beam is directed. It partially blocks, defocuses, absorbs, scatters, and deflects the incident beam and thereby reduces the laser energy reaching the workpiece. However, plume additionally acts as a heat source enhancing the machining. Consequently, laser induced plume plays an important role in laser machining process. The present study investigates the transmittance of a reference beam by the plume generated during the laser-workpiece interaction. To achieve the transmittance measurements, a Nd:YAG laser was used and four different materials were employed in the experiment. To obtain realistic values of the plume transmittance in relation to the laser machining process, the reference beam was sampled from the incident laser beam. The study was extended to include the effect of the laser pulse parameters on the transmission process. It is found that about 10–30% of the transmittance of the reference beam through a vapor plume, produced due to laser ablation, occurs close to the workpiece surface.

Expansion of a laser plume from a silicon wafer in a wide range of ambient gas pressures

Expansion of the laser plume from a silicon wafer into surrounding gas is considered in the range of ambient gas pressure from 0.1 to 1 bar using a kinetic approach. The plume is generated by a nanosecond Gaussian laser pulse. Absorption of laser radiation and heating and melting of the target are described by a two-dimensional thermal model. Axisymmetric flow in the laser plume is calculated by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. It was found that diffusion of mixture components is significant in the considered time scale, flow is non-equilibrium, and regions of high rarefaction temporally appear in the flow. In atmospheric pressure, the re-deposition of the silicon vapor was observed only in the vicinity of the laser spot.     

Characterization of the plasma plume and of thin film epitaxially produced during laser ablation of SnSe

Laser-induced ablation was applied to thin film deposition from a tin selenide target. Diagnostic methods are applied to the characterization of the laser ablated plume. Emission from atomic and ionic excited states of tin and selenium dominates the total emission of the plasma plume with excitation temperatures up to 12 000 K. A high-speed ICCD camera has also been used to study three-dimensional plume propagation. Positive and negative cluster ions of bare tin, selenium and of the combined elements have been detected by laser mass-spectrometry of the plume. The growth of SnSe has been analysed by electrical and optical techniques. The effect of laser fluence on the plume and on the properties of the deposits has also been studied. The epitaxial growth of SnSe on several substrates is reported.     

Laser ablation of silicon and copper targets. Experimental and finite elements studies

The ablation process induced by excimer lasers is a collective phenomenon that basically involves two phenomena: the laser radiation–matter interaction and the dynamic of the ablation plume. The laser parameters, the thermal and optical properties of the material, and the surface morphology are critical factors in the ablation mechanisms affecting the direction of the ablation plume expansion. In this study, the role of the surface roughness and the evolution of its morphology under the laser irradiation were investigated. Assuming a thermal ablation model, a theoretical study of the initial steps of the laser ablation process by a finite element method using ANSYS (6.1) was performed. Different ablation experiments were carried out on silicon and copper targets using a XeCl laser. The target surface morphology changes were observed by SEM and the plume deflection was recorded by a digital camera. An acceptable agreement between the experimental and simulated results was found. This study contributes to a better understanding of the physical processes involved in the laser ablation and the relations between the plume deflection angle and the surface roughness.

Effect of ZnO plasma plume dynamics on laser ablation

The dynamic behaviors and optical properties of a ZnO plasma plume produced by pulsed laser ablation using a Nd:YAG laser (wavelength: 532 nm, pulse width: 3 ns) were studied by fast photography using a commercial gated charge coupled device (CCD) camera linked with a delay circuit and by optical emission spectroscopy at various ambient oxygen pressures. Fast photography was conducted with a resolving power of 0.25 μs and the expansion behaviors of the laser ablation plume were observed. Plasma plume expansion velocity decreased with oxygen partial pressure. The flow of the plasma plume in the early stage of expansion of up to 3 ms agreed well with the drag model.
