Abstract

Laser-induced plasma is today a widespread spectroscopic emission source. It can be easily generated using compact and reliable nanosecond pulsed lasers and finds applications in various domains with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). It is however such a particular medium which is intrinsically a transient and non-point light emitting source. Its timeand space-resolved diagnostics is therefore crucial for its optimized use. In this paper, we review our work on the investigation of the morphology and the evolution of the plasma. Different time scales relevant for the description of the plasma's kinetics and dynamics are covered by suitable techniques. Our results show detailed evolution and transformation of the plasma with high temporal and spatial resolutions. The effects of the laser parameters as well as the background gas are particularly studied. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
