Abstract
The role of inter-pulse delay time in laser-induced Cu plasma with femtosecond and nanosecond double-pulse irradiation had been investigated by optical emission spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that a significant enhancement effect in the atomic line emission was observed by changing the inter-pulse delay time. The spectral intensity of Cu plasma produced by a femtosecond + nanosecond double-pulse was higher than that produced by a nanosecond + femtosecond dual-pulse. That is to say, the shorter laser pulse (femtosecond) was efficient in coupling to the sample and the longer laser pulse (nanosecond) was suitable for re-exciting the produced plasma. In addition, the corresponding plasma temperature and electron density were also calculated. The plasma temperature in the case of femtosecond + nanosecond was lower than that in the case of nanosecond + femtosecond, while the electron density in the case of femtosecond + nanosecond was higher than that in the case of nanosecond + femtosecond. This study is helpful for the research on sample detection using femtosecond and nanosecond double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
