Abstract

In laser microspectral analysis, the form of a spark plasma produced by the auxiliary spark excitation varies with the discharge conditions. The influence of heat in the spark plasma on the sample surface therefore differs for different discharge conditions. For a transparent material, the discharge condition which produces a spherical form of the plasma is the most effective for analysis by photographic recording of spectra. If the extension of the sampling region due to the heat of spark plasma is not desired, the discharge condition which produces a flat form of the spark plasma is most suitable.
