Advances in characterization of laser induced plasmas by optical emission spectroscopy are
reviewed in this article. The review is focused on the progress achieved in the determination …

We discuss the generation of high-density and high-temperature plasmas by focusing high
peak power laser radiation onto a solid target. Emphasis will be put on the process of laser …

The local values of the parameters that characterize a laser-induced plasma (temperature,
electron density, relative number densities of neutral atoms and ions) have been obtained …

Theoretical and experimental efforts to describe the expansion of laser-induced plasma
plume are reviewed. Particular attention has been devoted to a comparison between …

In this paper the developments of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
underwater have been reviewed to clear up the basic aspects of this technique as well as …

A multi-element Saha–Boltzmann plot method is proposed for the determination of the
temperature and the relative number density in laser-induced plasmas, assuming local …

We have performed time-and space-resolved plasma diagnostics during ultraviolet excimer
laser ablation of a Ti target in a low pressure N2 atmosphere. Spectral lines emitted from …

Characteristics of laser produced Cu plasma were investigated using spectroscopy, a CCD
camera, and a Langmuir single probe. A pulsed Nd: YAG laser of 52 mJ, 335 nm, and pulse …

Plasma diagnostics were performed during excimer laser ablation of graphite in a low-
pressure atmosphere using time-and space-resolved optical emission spectroscopy. The …

Time and space resolved optical emission spectroscopy has been successfully employed to
investigate the evolution of the plasma produced by the interaction of UV laser beam with a …
