Abstract

The results of the observation of ionization signals in the laser-ablation sampling of solid samples into the flame were reported. The signals exhibited two maxima. The first, nonselective, maximum, which appeared immediately after the pulse of the volatilization laser, is due to thermions formed in the laser plasma. The second, selective (analytical), signal appeared after the pulse of the optical excitation laser. The nonselective signal may interfere with the detection of the analytical signal. The dependence of both signals on parameters such as the height of the cathode and the height of signal observation above the burner and the time delay between the laser pulses was studied. The optimal conditions for the detection of signals in laser-enhanced atomic ionization spectrometry were found.
