LIBS Analysis of Liquids and of Materials Inside Liquids

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 182))

Abstract

Laser induced plasma formation on or inside liquids is characterized by large energy losses due to liquid evaporation. Ablation of a liquid surface is followed by hydro-dynamical instabilities and splashing. Plasma generation inside bulk liquids is affected by the light absorption and scattering, and it is accompanied by intense pressure waves and successive vapor cavitation. Efficient LIBS analyses in presence of liquids require different considerations; the examples are reported and discussed in following.
