Abstract

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is applied successfully for plasma-wall interaction studies in several fusion devices and post-mortem analyses of plasma-facing materials. However, the quantitative as well as qualitative analysis of low hydrogen isotope contents in tungsten plasma-facing components is still challenging. A promising approach to increase the optical signal in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is to apply a second laser pulse to the laser-produced plasma. We present two setups for post mortem plasma-facing component analyses using different laser pulse properties and different excitation geometries. The enhancement factors and changes in spectral line shapes for double pulse compared to single pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy are presented.
