Abstract
Abstract A laser-induced plasma was generated from a lead target using an ArF excimer laser (λ = 193 nm) and characterized by time-resolved and time-integrated spatially resolved spectrometry. The ambient atmosphere (gas composition and pressure) influenced the emission intensity for both atomic and ionic lines. The emission of laser-induced lead plasma varied with time as well as the location in the plasma. Lead ion emission decayed more rapidly than lead atomic line emission. High excitation temperatures and nonlinear optical phenomena were observed in the laser-induced lead plasma. Gas breakdown and the subsequent shielding effect of the incident laser beam in different ambient gas compositions and pressures were discussed to explain the different efficiency of metal ion for matioa in the plasma. The experimental results show that spatial discrimination of the laser-induced plasma emission is desirable for direct spectrochemical analysis.
