基于温度迭代校正自吸收效应的激光诱导击穿光谱定量分析方法

激光诱导击穿光谱(laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, LIBS)是一种理想的实时在线检测合金中微量元素的方法.然而在激光诱导击穿产生的高密度等离子体中,自吸收通常是一种不期望出现的效应,它降低了谱线的真实强度,使谱线强度随目标物质含量增长呈非线性,从而严重影响对目标中元素含量测量的准确性.本文提出了一种基于温度迭代校正自吸收效应的方法,借助等离子体热平衡辐射模型,对等离子体电子温度(T)和辐射粒子数密度乘以吸收路径长度(Nl)这两个参数进行迭代计算和校正,消除自吸收对谱线强度的影响,最终提高定量分析的准确性.对合金钢样品中Mn元素的实验测量结果表明,该方法有效地提高了Boltzmann平面图的线性度及元素含量的测量精度.该方法模型简单,计算效率高,且与Stark展宽系数的可用性和准确性无关,可以直接获得辐射粒子数密度和吸收路径长度参数,因此在提高LIBS定量分析能力的同时,还可以实现对等离子体状态的诊断.

Plasma property effects on spectral line broadening in double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Double-pulse Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in an orthogonal configuration was used to investigate plasma temperature and electron density effects on Mg II emission spectral line broadening. The experiments were carried out with two Nd:YAG lasers, one operating at 355 nm for ablation and the other one at 1064 nm for plasma reheating in air at atmospheric pressure. Temporally resolved plasma temperature and electron density were measured at various delay times. Data in this study show prolonged emission of Mg II (280.27 nm) as well as enhancement of the signal intensity when using double-pulse excitation compared to the single-pulse case. An enhancement of ～8× was attained with a delay between the laser pulses equal to 1 μs. The enhancement was accompanied by higher plasma temperature and increased electron density. The double-pulse LIBS configuration provides energy to sustain the plasma emission at a period in time when the linewidth is minimum, thereby improving the analytical capabilities of low spectral resolution instrumentation typically used in LIBS system.     

Evaluation of plasma produced by first and second harmonic nano-second laser for enhancing the capability of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy technique

Evaluation of plasmas produced and optimized for improving the capability of convenential laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for analytical purposes of solid samples is the main goal of the present work. The plasma produced in the present study was generated by focusing a single nano-second Nd:YAG laser at the fundamental wavelength of 1064 nm and at the second harmonic wavelength of 532 nm on an Al target in air at atmospheric pressure. The emission spectrum was recorded time resolved over the whole UV-NIR (200–1000 nm) spectral range. This work describes an extension of previously reported studies and focuses now on the determination of the plasma parameters at the optimum condition – highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and minimum limit of detection (LOD) — of the LIBS technique, which is now widely applied to the elemental analysis of materials in atmospheric air. Parameters of the produced plasma in the time interval from 0 to 10 μs are determined for to further understanding the LIBS plasma dynamics. O I and Mn I spectral lines are used in the present work as thermometric lines for the determination of the plasma temperature based on Boltzmann plots. Stark broadening of lines yields the electron density. The widths of the H _α -line at 656.27 nm, of the O I line at 844.65 nm, of Al II lines at 281.65 nm and 466.30 nm and of the Si I line at 288.15 nm has been utilized for that. The plasma temperature ranged from 0.73 eV to around 1 eV for the different laser energies with both laser wavelengths for the optimized plasma used for LIBS analysis. This temperature is very close to that well known for the other spectrochemical analytical techniques or in excitation sources such as inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

Titanium plasma spectroscopy studies under double pulse laser excitation

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied for parametric studies of titanium (Ti) plasma using single and double pulsed laser excitation scheme. Here a pulsed Nd:YAG laser was employed for generation of laser produced plasma from solid Ti target at ambient pressure. Several ionized titanium lines were recorded in the 312–334 nm UV region. The temporal evolution of plasma parameters such as excitation temperature and electron number density was evaluated. The effect of incident laser irradiance, position of the laser beam focal point with respect to the surface of illumination, single and double laser pulse effect on plasma parameters were also investigated. This study contributes to a better understanding of the LIBS plasma dynamics of the double laser pulse effect on the temporal evolution of various Ti emission lines, the detection sensitivity and the optimal dynamics of plasma for ionized states of Ti. The results demonstrate a faster decay of the continuum and spectral lines and a shorter plasma life time for the double pulse excitation scheme as compared with single laser pulse excitation. For double pulse excitation technique, the emissions of Ti lines intensities are enhanced by a factor of five which could help in the improvement of analytical performance of LIBS technique. In addition, this study proved that to avoid inhomogeneous effects in the laser produced plasma under high laser intensities, short delay times between the incident laser pulse and ICCD gate are required.

Influence of polarization of laser beam on emission intensity of femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) is an important technique which is widely used to analyze element composition. In order to improve the sensitivity of LIBS, much effort has been made to enhance the spectral intensity of LIBS by proposing a number of methods. In addition, we find that laser polarization has great influence on the emission intensity of femtosecond LIBS. By comparing the emission intensity of femtosecond LIBS in the circular polarization with that in the linear polarization, the spectral intensity in the case of circular polarization is stronger than that in the case of linear polarization. Moreover, this phenomenon is more obvious as laser energy increases. The polarization plays an important role in LIBS signal intensity. Based on the observation, the enhanced mechanism of the laser polarization for the spectral intensity is discussed in this paper, which will be helpful in spectral analysis and component analysis.     

Effect of ambient conditions on laser-induced breakdown spectra

The role of different ambient conditions on LIBS signal intensity was investigated for better understanding and performance of LIBS as a quantitative and qualitative analytical technique. For this purpose, the relative LIBS signal intensities were measured for a standard Cr line (520.8 nm) at different gas pressures of Ar, He, and air. The plasma was generated using a Q-switched pulsed Nd:YAG laser having wavelength of 1064 nm and pulse duration of 8 ns. The analysis revealed that the intensities of the spectral atomic Cr line (520.8 nm) were strongly enhanced under the argon environment in 10?C40 mbar range. The electron excitation temperature (T _e ) and number density (n _e ) were estimated by using a Boltzmann plot and a Stark broadening profile, respectively. For optimum dependence of LIBS, laser energy and pressure dependence was also studied. The electron temperature and number density showed an increase with increase in ambient gas pressure.
