AbstractDevelopments in femtosecond laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) applications during the last two decades have further centered on innovative métier tie-in to the advantageous properties of femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA) introduced into LIBS. Yet, for industrially-oriented application like coal analysis, no research has exposed to view the analytical capabilities of fs-LA in enhancing the physical processes of coal ablation and the impact into quantitative correlation of spectra and data modeling. In a huge coal market, fast and accurate analysis of coal property is eminently important for coal pricing, combustion optimization, and pollution reduction. Moreover, there is a thirst need of precision standardization for coal analyzers in use. In this letter, the analytical performance of a one-box femtosecond laser system is evaluated relative to an industrially applied coal analyzer based on five objectives/measures: spectral correlation, relative sensitivity factors, craters topology, plasma parameters, and repeatability. Despite high-threshold operation parameters of the fs system, competitive results are achieved compared to the optimized analytical conditions of the ns-coal analyzer. Studies targeting the in-field optimization of fs-LIBS systems for coal analysis can potentially provide insights into fs-plasma hydrodynamics under harsh conditions, instrumental customization, and pave the way for a competitive next-generation of coal analyzers.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) for the determination of elements in animal tissues. Sample pellets were prepared from certified reference materials, such as liver, kidney, muscle, hepatopancreas, and oyster, after cryogenic grinding assisted homogenization. Individual samples were placed in a two-axis computer-controlled translation stage that moved in the plane orthogonal to a beam originating from a Ti:Sapphire chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) laser system operating at 800 nm and producing a train of 840 μJ and 40 fs pulses at 90 Hz. The plasma emission was coupled into the optical fiber of a high-resolution intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD)–echelle spectrometer. Time-resolved characteristics of the laser-produced plasmas showed that the best results were obtained with delay times between 80 and 120 ns. Data obtained indicate both that it is a matrix-independent sampling process and that fs-LIBS can be used for the determination of Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and P, but efforts must be made to obtain more appropriate detection limits for Al, Sr, and Zn.

This study deals with the analysis and characterization of wood polychromes by means of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). Specimens from a Baroque altarpiece have been analyzed by using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser source at the wavelength of 355 nm. Previously, a library of characteristic LIBS spectra of the most commonly used pigments and other materials involved was obtained. The knowledge of these spectra allowed us to identify the main constituents of the different layers in polychromes and to obtain compositional depth profiles.
