Title: Influence of the laser characteristics on laser ablation processes
Abstract: Direct analysis of solid materials without sample digestion are requirement in analytical plasma emission spectrometry. Laser ablation permits the production of fine particles to be atomized, excited and ionized in a secondary source such as an inductively coupled plasma. Laser characteristics such as the pulse duration, the beam shape and the wavelength seem to play a significant role in the shape of the crater and the amount of ablated material. A Nd:YAG laser at 1064, 532 and 355 nm has been compared with a XeCl laser at 308 nm. Using the various lasers, crater shapes are described and amounts of ablated material are compared.
