Imaging and space-resolved spectroscopy in the XeCl laser ablation of noble metals with charge-coupled device detection

Spatially resolved emission spectra of laser-produced plasmas from metal samples are reported. A pulsed XeCl excimer laser delivering fluences in the range 2.3–4.7 J cm −2 at 308 nm was used. Line emission was detected using a charge-coupled device. The effect of laser parameters on the plasma morph...

More Information
Summary:Spatially resolved emission spectra of laser-produced plasmas from metal samples are reported. A pulsed XeCl excimer laser delivering fluences in the range 2.3–4.7 J cm −2 at 308 nm was used. Line emission was detected using a charge-coupled device. The effect of laser parameters on the plasma morphology was investigated for silver, copper and mercury targets. The emission spectrum of a 18-carats gold sample is discussed.
