Nuclear security is one of the defining challenges of our time. Nuclear threats range from
deliberate dispersal of radioactive material to contaminate the vital infrastructure to diversion …

Rapid, in-field, and non-contact isotopic analysis of solid materials is extremely important to
a large number of applications, such as nuclear nonproliferation monitoring and forensics …

The promising application of femtosecond laser filamentation in atmospheric remote sensing
brings imperative demand for diagnosing and controlling the spatiotemporal dynamics of …

The ability to perform not only elementally but also isotopically sensitive detection and
analysis at standoff distances is impor-tant for remote sensing applications in diverse ares …

We report on the observation of uranium monoxide (UO) emission following fs laser ablation
(LA) of a uranium metal sample. The formation and evolution of the molecular emission is …

The aim of this paper is to analyze the various uses of Stark broadening data for non-
hydrogenic lines emitted from plasma, obtained with the modified semiempirical method …

The combination of femtosecond laser filament ablation and emission spectroscopy is a
potential analytical tool for standoff characterization of samples of interest. We compare the …

The bulk aerosol emissions excited by externally focused femtosecond laser filaments are
characterized using time-resolved plasma imaging and spectroscopy. Images of N2 and N …

The femtosecond filament-induced breakdown spectroscopy (FIBS) technique coupled with
principal component analysis (PCA) is demonstrated for standoff (ST) analysis of metals …

We report the influence of femtosecond (fs) laser weakly ionized air channel on
characteristics of plasma induced from fs-laser ablation of solid Zr metal target. A novel …
