We present the optical emission studies of sulphur (S) plasma generated by the first (1064 nm) and second (532 nm) wavelengths of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The target material was placed in front of laser beam in air at atmospheric pressure. The experimentally observed line profiles of neutral sulphur have been used to extract the electron temperature (T e ) using the Boltzmann plot method, whereas the electron number density (N e ) has been determined from the Stark broadening. The electron temperature is calculated by varying, distance from, the target surface along the line of propagation of plasma plume and also by varying the laser irradiance. Beside we have studied the variation of number density as a function of laser irradiance as well as its variation with distance from the target surface. It is observed that electron temperature and electron number density increases as laser irradiance is increased.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

We present the optical emission spectroscopic studies of the Tin (Sn) plasma, produced by the fundamental (1064 nm) and second (532 nm) harmonics of a Q switched Nd: YAG pulsed laser having pulse duration of 5 ns and 10 Hz repetition rate which is capable of delivering 400 mJ at 1064 nm, and 200 mJ at 532 nm using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The laser beam was focused on target material by placing it in air at atmospheric pressure. The experimentally observed line profiles of four neutral tin (Sn I) lines at 231.72, 248.34, 257.15 and 266.12 nm were used to extract the electron temperature (Te) using the Boltzmann plot method and determined its value 6360 and 5970 K respectively for fundamental and second harmonics of the laser. Whereas, the electron number density (Ne) has been determined from the Stark broadening profile of neutral tin (Sn I) line at 286.33 nm and determined its value 5.85 x 1016 and 6.80 x 1016cm–3 for fundamental and second harmonics of the laser respectively. Both plasma parameters (Te and Ne) have also been calculated by varying distance from the target surface along the line of propagation of plasma plume and also by varying the laser irradiance.

We present the optical emission characteristics of the sodium plasma produced at the surface of sodium nitrate (NaNO3) also known as Chile saltpeter. We used a Q-switched Nd:YAG (Quantel Brilliant) pulsed laser having a pulse duration of 5?ns and 10?Hz repetition rate which is capable of delivering 400?mJ at 1064?nm and 200?mJ at 532?nm. The target material was placed in front of laser beam in air (atmospheric pressure). The experimentally observed line profiles of neutral sodium have been used to extract the electron temperature using the Boltzmann plot method, whereas the electron number density has been determined from the Stark broadening. The electron temperature is calculated by varying the distance from the target surface along the line of propagation of the plasma plume and also by varying the laser irradiance. Besides, we have studied the variation of number density as a function of laser irradiance as well as its variation with the distance from the target surface. It is observed that electron temperature and electron number density increase as the laser irradiance is increased.  相似文献

We present the optical emission characteristics of the barium plasma produced at the surface of barium hydroxide Ba(OH)2, also known as baryta, generated by the first harmonic (1,064 nm) of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The laser beam was focused on target material by placing it in air at atmospheric pressure. The experimentally observed line profiles of neutral barium have been used to extract the electron temperature using the Boltzmann plot method, whereas the electron number density has been determined from the Stark broadening. The electron temperature is calculated by varying distance from the target surface along the line of propagation of plasma plume and also by varying the laser energy. Besides, we have studied the variation of number density as a function of laser energy as well as its variation with distance from the target surface. It is observed that electron temperature and electron number density increase as laser energy increases.  相似文献

Optical emission spectroscopic investigations of the plasma produced during Nd:YAG laser ablation of sintered TiO2 targets, in oxygen and argon gas environments are reported. The spatial variations of electron temperature (Te) and electron number density (Ne) are studied. The effect of oxygen/argon pressure on electron temperature (Te) and electron number density (Ne) is presented. The kinematics of the emitted particles and expansion of plume edge are discussed. Spatio-temporal variations of various species in TiO2 plasma were recorded and corresponding velocities were calculated. The effect of oxygen pressure on intensity of neutral/ion species and their corresponding velocities is also reported.  相似文献

The present work aimed to study the variation in the plasma parameters (temperature and density) of the Ti plasma generated by 1,064 and 532 nm lasers at different ambient N2 pressures for different delay times. The characterization of the plasma-assisted pulsed laser ablation of the titanium target is discussed. The emission spectra of the titanium plasma produced in the present study have been carefully investigated over the whole UV–NIR (200–1,000 nm) spectral range. Boltzmann plots of suitable spectral lines have been employed to derive the excitation temperature, and the electron density is derived from the Stark widths of the Ti II spectral line at 350.49 nm.  相似文献

Emission plasma plume generated by pulsed laser ablation of a lithium solid target by a ruby laser (694 nm, 20 ns, 3 J) was subjected to optical emission spectroscopy: time and space resolved optical emission was characterised as a function of distance from the target surface. Propagation of the plume was studied through ambient background of argon gas. Spectroscopic observations can, in general, be used to analyse plume structure with respect to an appropriate theoretical plasma model. The plume expansion dynamics in this case could be explained through a shock wave propagation model wherein, the experimental observations made were seen to fit well with the theoretical predictions. Spectral information derived from measurement of peak intensity and line width determined the parameters, electron temperature (T e) and electron number density (n e), typically used to characterise laser produced plasma plume emission. These measurements were also used to validate the assumptions underlying the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) model, invoked for the high density laser plasma under study. Some interesting results pertaining to the analysis of plume structure and spatio-temporal behaviour of T e and n e along the plume length will be presented and discussed.  相似文献

Transition probabilities for 30 spectral lines, arising from the 5d10 6s{8s, 7p, 5f, 5g} electronic configurations of Pb III (20 measured for the first time), have been experimentally determined from measurements of emission line intensities in a plasma lead induced by ablation with a Nd:YAG laser. The line intensities were obtained with the target placed in molecular argon at 6 Torr, recorded at a 400 ns delay from the laser pulse, which provides appropriate measurement conditions, and analysed between 200 and 700 nm. They are measured when the plasma reaches local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). The plasma under study had an electron temperature (T) of 21,400 K and an electron number density (Ne) of 7×1016 cm−3. The influence of self-absorption has been estimated for every line, and plasma homogeneity has been checked. The values obtained were compared with previous experimental values and theoretical estimates where possible.  相似文献

Optical emission of the plasma generated on SiC samples by pulsed laser beam from an Nd:YAG laser was used to investigate the spatial evolution of the electron temperature (Te) and density (Ne) of the plasma. The range and the profile of the plasma were characterized by the electron temperature Te and the electron density Ne, as functions of the distance from the SiC surface. It was found that the characterized spatial distribution closely coincided with the spatial images of the plasma recorded by a digital camera. The results obtained from the two different experimental measurements are consistent with other data from the literature, obtained either by models or experiments. The present result may give the insight to the complex physical phenomena in the thin film preparations using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD).  相似文献

In the present work, we present the spatial evolution of the copper plasma produced by the fundamental harmonic (1064 nm) and second harmonic (532 nm) of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The experimentally observed line profiles of neutral copper have been used to extract the electron temperature using the Boltzmann plot method, whereas, the electron number density has been determined from the Stark broadening. Besides we have studied the variation of electron temperature and electron number density as a function of laser energy at atmospheric pressure. The Cu I lines at 333.78, 406.26, 465.11 and 515.32 nm are used for the determination of electron temperature. The relative uncertainty in the determination of electron temperature is ≈10%. The electron temperature calculated for the fundamental harmonic (1064 nm) of Nd:YAG laser is 10500–15600 K, and that for the second harmonic (532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser is 11500–14700 K at a Q Switch delay of 40 μs. The electron temperature has also been calculated as a function of laser energy from the target surface for both modes of the laser. We have also studied the spatial behavior of the electron number density in the plume. The electron number densities close to the target surface (0.05 mm), in the case of fundamental harmonic (1064 nm) of Nd:YAG laser having pulse energy 135 mJ and second harmonic (532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser with pulse energy 80 mJ are 2.50×1016 and 2.60×1016 cm−3, respectively.  相似文献

Theoretical electron density-sensitive line ratios R1-R6 of Ar XIV soft X-ray emission lines are presented. We found that these line ratios are sensitive to the electron density ne, and the ratio R1 is insensitive to electron temperature Te. Recent work has shown that accurate atomic data, such as electron impact excitation rates, is very important for an reliable determination of the electron density of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Present work indicates that the maximum discrepancy of line ratios introduced from different atomic data calculated with distorted wave and R-matrix approximations, is up to 18% in the range of . By comparison of these line ratios with experiment results carried out in electron beam ion trap (EBIT-II), electron density of the laboratory plasma is diagnosed, and a consistent result is obtained from R1, R2 and R3. Our result is in agreement with that diagnosed by Chen et al. using triplet of N VI. A relative higher diagnosed electron density from R2 is due to its weak sensitivity to electron temperature. A better consistency at lower Te indicates that temperature of the laboratory plasma is lower than logTe(K)=6.5. Comparison between the measured and theoretical ratios reveals that 32.014 Å  line is weakly blended by lines from other Ar ions, while 30.344 Å  line is strongly contaminated.  相似文献

We have studied the validity of the double‐probe method in recombining plasmas. Electron temperature (Te) measured with a double probe was quantitatively evaluated by taking into account the influences of plasma potential fluctuation, plasma resistivity, and electron density fluctuation on the current–voltage characteristics. Differential potential fluctuation and plasma resistivity between two electrodes have a minor effect on Te especially when the inter‐distance is small (typically 1 mm). Scattering of measured Te due to the density fluctuation was sufficiently suppressed by making the data acquisition time long (typically 4 s) and taking the average. There is a good agreement between Te measured with the optimized double‐probe method and that with laser Thomson scattering diagnostics.  相似文献

We realize a Ne-like Ar 46.9 nm soft X-ray laser pumped by a capillary discharge. The study of the laserpulse-intensity distribution is important for applications of soft X-ray lasers. The intensity distribution demonstrates the gain distribution, plasma radius, and axial plasma density that contribute to the study of the laser-pulse formation. To measure the intensity in different positions of the X-ray laser spot, we moved transversally an X-ray diode (XRD) assembled with a slit. We obtain the onedimensional intensity distribution. We find a laser divergence (FWHM) of 4.0 mrad. According to the gain-guided model, we calculate the intensity distribution. The measured divergence of 4.0 mrad roughly corresponds to a plasma radius a approximately equal to 230–250 μm and on-axis electron density n e 8.0?1018 ?9.0?1018 cm ?3. The results of calculations indicate that the divergence of the intensity distribution increases when the plasma radius decreases and the on-axis electron density increases.  相似文献

In this paper, we present spectroscopic studies of a laser-induced indium (In) plasma produced by fundamental (1,064 nm) and second (532 nm) harmonics of an Nd:YAG laser along with the characteristics determined by plasma parameters. The electron temperature is determined using four lines of neutral indium at 260.17, 271.02, 275.38, and 325.85 nm, in view of the Boltzmann plot method. The temperature varies from 6,470 K at 0.05 nm to 4,990 K at about 2 mm from the target surface for the fundamental wavelength and from 6,250 to 4,880 K for the second harmonic. The electron density is ±300 calculated using the Stark broadened profiles recorded at laser pulse energy 130 mJ (for fundamental) and 72 mJ (for second harmonic) as 5:8·1016 and 6:9·1016 cm?3, respectively. These values decrease to 3:5·1015 and 4:9·1015 over a distance of 2 mm from the target surface, respectively. Moreover, we study the variation of N e as a function of laser irradiance as well as its spatial variation from the target surface.  相似文献

Axial and azimuthal flow velocities have been measured in a linear plasma device called NAGDIS-II (NAGoya DIvertor Simulator-II), along with plasma density and electron temperature, using a vector Mach probe composed of two Mach probes, one of which is for the axial flow, and the other is for the azimuthal flow. To study the effect of neutral pressure on the deduction of the Mach numbers, the ratio of upstream to downstream currents are measured by changing the neutral pressure for the deduction of flow velocities. Helium plasma was generated with pressure of 2–35 mTorr. Since the ion gyro-radius at the magnetic flux of 300 G is larger than the probe size, an unmagnetized collisionless Mach probe theory was used for the deduction of Mach numbers and their variations. In order to check the range of collisionality, plasma density (ne = 1010–1011 cm?3) and electron temperature (Te = 2–9 eV) are measured by a single electric probe using a conventional collisionless probe theory. Variations of Mach number, electron temperature and plasma density with collisionless models are to be compared with those using collisional models for different pressures where ionization and ion-neutral collision are included. Mach numbers by the collisionless model are found to be overestimated by 120% for the maximum difference even in weakly collisional plasmas. A clear flow reversal exists in the axial direction with higher pressure plasma, even in the linear machine. Azimuthal flows are also measured simultaneously along with axial flows, yet they seem to be very small in the present cold ion plasma (Ti/Te << 1).  相似文献

We present spectroscopic emission studies of a laser-produced potassium plasma generated by the fundamental mode (1064 nm) and the second harmonic (532 nm) of a Q-switched pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The spectra predominantly reveal the spectral lines of neutral potassium. We use experimentally observed line profiles of neutral potassium to determine the excitation temperature using Boltzmann plots, and the Stark-broadened line profiles to determine the electron-number density. We also study variations in the excitation temperature and electron-number density as functions of the laser irradiance.  相似文献

The electrical probe (Langmuir probe) diagnostics of different plasma parameters and operation regimes (E/H modes) of magnetic pole enhanced, inductively coupled (MaPE-ICP) argon plasmas are investigated. It is shown that uniform, high density (n e ∼ 1012 cm-3) and low electron temperature (T e ∼ 1.5 eV) plasma can be produced in low pressure argon discharges at a low power (100 W). It is found that an MaPE-ICP reactor operates in two different modes; capacitive (E mode) and inductive (H mode). No density jump or hysteresis are reported between these modes. The effect of pressure on transition power, where the mode changes from E to H mode at 20 sccm gas flow rate are studied and it is found that for all pressures tested (∼7.5 mTorr to 75 mTorr) the transition power remains same. In the inductive mode, the above plasma parameters show a smooth variation with increasing filling gas pressure at fixed power. The intensity of the emission line at 750.4 nm due to 2p 1 → 1s 2 (Paschen’s notation) transition, closely follows the variation of n e with RF power and filling gas pressure. Measured electron energy probability function (EEPF) shows that electron occupation mostly changes in the high-energy tail, which enlightens close similarity of the 750.4 nm argon line to electron number density (n e ). The behaviour of the electron energy probability function (EEPF) with regard to pressure and RF power in two operational modes is presented.  相似文献

The r.f. discharge of sputtering silicon target using argon-oxygen-nitrogen plasma was investigated by optical emission spectroscopy. Electronic temperature (Te) and emission line intensity were measured for different plasma parameters: pressure (from 0.3 to 0.7 Pa), power density (0.6-5.7 W cm−2) and gas composition. At high oxygen concentration in the plasma, both Te and the target self-bias voltage (Vb) steeply decrease. Such behaviour traduces the target poisoning phenomenon. In order to control the deposition process, emission line intensity of different species present in the plasma were compared to the ArI (λ = 696.54 nm) line intensity and then correlated to the film composition analysed by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy.  相似文献

Overpopulation densities Δnitij, which are defined as the differences between the population densities per unit statistical weight of the upper and lower excited levels i and j, are calculated as a function of the electron density ne for various electron temperatures Te in recombining hydrogen plasmas. Calculation have been made for line pairs with principal quantum numbers (2 ,3), (3, 4) and (4, 5). The effect of the ground-level population density n1 on Δnij is calculated. In this calculation, the atom-atom collision and the self-absorption of the resonance lines are taken into account. The n1-dependence of Δnij remains almost constant until the self-absorption becomes significant. The threshold condition for laser oscillation is discussed in relation to the calculated Δnij. Laser oscillation is possible for the line pair (2, 3) at an electron density and temperature higher than for the other pairs (3, 4) and (4, 5) when self-absorption is negligible.  相似文献
