Laser-induced plasma formation in water with up to 400 mJ double-pulse LIBS (part 2)
Double-pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) measurements in water with up to 600 bar and 400 mJ each pulse were done to select laser parameters which promote optimized spectral line emission from plasma even at elevated pressures, where line broadening until loss of the most spectral information can occur. Optical emission spectroscopy, using a Czerny-Turner spectrometer, has been applied to investigate the dependence of the emitted radiation on laser parameters and hydrostatic pressure.
