A1 - Merk, Sven A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Assessment of suitability of diode pumped solid state lasers for laser induced breakdown and Raman spectroscopy N2 - The potential of a diode pumped solid state (DPSS) laser for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy was investigated. The DPSS laser operating at repetition rates of 1 Hz–200 kHz, pulse energy of ~1 mJ, and pulse duration of ~20 ns was added to a conventional LIBS system equipped with the flashlamp-pumped Nd:YAG laser (10 Hz, 400 mJ, 6 ns) to directly compare the two laser systems. Despite the lower mass ablated per laser pulse (~several nanograms) and a weaker plasma, the total mass ablated per measurement interval (~1 s) and total emission signal were significantly higher than those obtained with the flashlamp pumped Nd:YAG laser. This resulted in the improved signal-to-noise ratio and better limits of detection (LOD). The best LODs were obtained for Cu, Cr and Ni in ultrapure standard iron samples, 0.7 ppm, 1 ppm and 5 ppm, correspondingly. The plasma from the DPSS laser was characterized in terms of its radiative properties, temperature, and shockwave propagation speed. The suitability of this laser for LIBS-Raman was demonstrated by mapping the elemental and molecular composition of a mineral sample. The results strongly imply that DPSS lasers are the promising source for LIBS, Raman, or combined LIBS-Raman spectroscopy.

A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - A combined laser-induced breakdown and Raman spectroscopy Echelle system for elemental and molecular microanalysis N2 - Raman and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is integrated into a single system for molecular and elemental microanalyses. Both analyses are performed on the same ~ 0.002 mm² sample spot allowing the assessment of sample heterogeneity on a micrometric scale through mapping and scanning. The core of the spectrometer system is a novel high resolution dual arm Echelle spectrograph utilized for both techniques. In contrast to scanning Raman spectroscopy systems, the Echelle-Raman spectrograph provides a high resolution spectrum in a broad spectral range of 200-6000 cm- 1 without moving the dispersive element. The system displays comparable or better sensitivity and spectral resolution in comparison to a state-of-the-art scanning Raman microscope and allows short analysis times for both Raman and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy performance of the system is characterized by ppm detection limits, high spectral resolving power (15,000), and broad spectral range (290-945 nm). The capability of the system is demonstrated with the mapping of heterogeneous mineral samples and layer by layer analysis of pigments revealing the advantages of combining the techniques in a single unified set-up.
