Tóm tắt

The emission characteristics of laser-induced plasma, with the use of a Q-switched ruby laser of 1.5 J, were studied in argon atmosphere at reduced pressure. The time- and spatially resolved emission profiles were measured. In argon atmosphere at reduced pressure, the emission period of plasma is elongated to over a hundred microseconds, and the emissive region expands to more than a few tens of millimeters above the sample surface. The emission intensities of atomic lines increase severalfold in an argon atmosphere, in comparison with those obtained in air at the same pressure. Moderate confinement of plasmas and a resultant increase of emission intensities are achieved at 50 Torr. These results are explained by the chemical inertness and the thermal characteristics of the argon atmosphere and the decrease in absorption of the laser pulse by the plasma plume. The re-excitation of emissive species by collisions with metastable argon atoms seems to be less important.
