Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using double-pulse irradiation with Nd:YAG and CO(2) lasers was applied to the analysis of a polystyrene film on a silicon substrate. An enhanced emission signal, compared to single-pulse LIBS using a Nd:YAG laser, was observed from atomic carbon, as well as enhanced molecular emission from C(2) and CN. This double-pulse technique was further applied to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene residues, and enhanced LIBS signals for both atomic carbon and molecular CN emission were observed; however, no molecular C(2) emission was detected.Entities:
