Abstract: | A simple device was designed to measure the acoustic signal accompanying laser ablation. The potential use of this signal for laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma atomic emission was examined. A frequency quadrupled pulsed Nd:YAG laser radiation was used for the ablation of glass, steel and ceramic samples. The relation between the acoustic signal, the laser energy, the analyte signal and the amount of ablated material was studied and evidence of the use of the acoustic signal for the exact focusing of the laser beam onto the sample surface was given. A more intense acoustic signal was observed for the exact focusing with a formation of larger ablation craters in glass and ceramics.
