Abstract

The laser plasma produced by irradiation of a graphite target simultaneously by the first and second harmonics of two Nd3+:YAG lasers has been studied by emission spectroscopy methods. The delay between radiation pulses (τ) varied from 0 to 700 μsec. It is established that in the absence of a delay between pulses (τ = 0) the increase in the intensity of plasma emission at the wavelengths corresponding to the radiative transitions of the C2 and C3 molecules is of nonradiative character. The plasma produced by laser radiation at the wavelength λ = 1064 nm exerts its influence on the radiation spectrum of the plasma produced by laser radiation at the wavelength λ = 532 nm, if the magnitude of the delay between laser pulses τ does not exceed 30 μsec. The most probable reason for this character of influence of the prepulse on the laser plasma radiation spectrum is sublimation of soot particles caused by laser radiation at λ = 532 nm.
