Laser-excited atomic fluorescence spectrometry (LEAFS) can be an extremely sensitive method of trace analysis. However, some elements, such as As, have strong absorption lines only below 200 nm. Dye laser systems capable of resonance excitation of As are complicated and very expensive. By coincidence, a simple fixed-frequency argon fluoride (ArF) excimer laser produces a broad-band output centered at 193.0–193.2 nm overlapping the As absorption line at 193.7 nm. The use of an ArF excimer laser as a source for LEAFS detection of As in a H2/air flame and an Ar-ICP has been evaluated. Detection limits of about 20 ng/mL were obtained with both atomizers. The limiting noise was laser-induced scatter in both cases. Methods of improving the detection powers are discussed.

ABSTRACTA Fluorocarbon resin surface was selectively modified by irradiation with a ArF laser beam through a thin layer of NaAlO2, B(OH)3, or H2O solution to give a hydrophilic property. As a result, with low fluence, the surface was most effectively modified with the NaAlO2 solution among the three solutions. However, the contact angle in this case changed by 10 degrees as the fluence changed only 1mJ/cm2. When modifying a large area of the surface, high resolution displacement could not be achieved because the laser beam was not uniform in displacing functional groups. Thus, the laser fluence was successfully made uniform by homogenizing the laser beam; the functional groups were replaced on the fluorocarbon resin surface with high resolution, which was successfully modified to be hydrophilic by distributing the laser fluence uniformly.
