This study introduced electro-deposition (ED) combined with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to detect trace metal Pb and Cr elements in the water. Firstly, the trace metal Pb and Cr elements...

This paper used femtosecond Gaussian and vortex beams to ablate a Cu target and generate Cu plasmas. A Gaussian beam pulse is shaped into a vortex beam by a vortex wave plate (topological charge m = 1). The spectral intensity of Cu plasmas produced by the two lasers was measured, finding that the spectra with vortex beam were stronger than that with Gaussian beam. The spectral intensity was doubled by simply changing the Gaussian beam into the vortex beam. In addition, the position for maximum Cu atomic line emission along with the laser path was closer to the position of focusing-lens with increasing laser energy. Finally, the Boltzmann plot calculated the plasma temperature, finding that the plasma temperature with the vortex beam was also higher than that with the Gaussian beam. The results indicated that vortex beams could improve the spectral intensity of the femtosecond laser-induced plasmas.

This study explored the characteristics of atomic and molecular emissions in Al plasmas generated by femtosecond lasers. The influence of laser pulse energy on Al atoms and AlO molecules time-integrated spectra was examined. As laser pulse energy increased, the intensity of Al atoms increased, while the emission of AlO molecules first increased and then remained unchanged. Secondly, the vibration temperature of AlO was determined and found to result in strong emission at a low temperature. Finally, the influence of laser pulse energy on the time-resolved spectra of Al atom and AlO molecule was explored, finding consistency with the time-integrated emission. These results indicate that the Al atom and AlO molecule have different sensitivities to femtosecond laser pulse energy. This research enriches our knowledge of femtosecond laser-plasma interactions and has potential applications in material processing and spectroscopic analysis.
