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 …

We report the standoff (up to~ 2 m) and remote (~ 8.5 m) detection of novel high energy
materials/explosive molecules (Nitroimidazoles and Nitropyrazoles) using the technique of …

In the present work, six novel high energy materials (HEMs) were investigated by
femtosecond and nanosecond LIBS techniques with an intention to comprehend the …

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

The interplay between ultrafast laser focusing conditions, emission intensity, expansion
dynamics, and ablation mechanisms is critical to the detection of light isotopes relevant to …

Ultrafast laser ablation coupled with optical emission spectroscopy is currently under
development for standoff detection of elements and their isotopes for a wide range of …

Time-resolved tunable laser absorption spectroscopy is used to characterize the physical
properties of ultrafast laser-produced plasmas. The plasmas were produced from an Inconel …

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 …

This study investigates the spatial confinement effect on Pb measurements in soil by
