Abstract
The ablation-induced plasma physics at reduced ablation crater dimensions is experimentally investigated. Frequency doubled femtosecond laser pulses are tightly focused through objective lenses onto a Cr thin film coated on quartz wafer in order to obtain ablation craters of submicron lateral dimensions. Side-view time-resolved emission images and the corresponding spectra depict the detailed plasma evolution at the fluence range near the ablation threshold. Collected emission spectra at the laser fluence level of around two to three times of ablation threshold display characteristic atomic transition peaks of the ablated Cr material from submicron ablation craters. This finding confirms that improved spatial resolution for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy can be achieved.
