Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful technique for quantitative diagnostics of gases. The spatial resolution of LIBS, however, is limited by the volume of plasma. Here femtosecond-nanosecond dual-pulsed LIBS was demonstrated. Using this method, the breakdown threshold was reduced by 80%, and decay of continuous radiation was shortened. In addition, the volume of the plasma was shrunk by 85% and hence, the spatial resolution of LIBS was significantly improved.

Abstract To realize the high performance of CVD diamond coated tools, a tool edge shaping process named pulse laser grinding (PLG) was developed with short pulse laser in our group previously. In this study, femtosecond laser was innovatively to be used to conduct the PLG process, since femtosecond laser is famous for its less thermal impact and some newly reported surface modification effect. The results show that PLG processing under high laser fluence of femtosecond laser could achieve roundness around 1 μm, which is similar to that of conventional PLG process with nanosecond laser, although the roughness of processed surface has been worse due to the redeposited debris. Furthermore, an interesting phenomenon has been confirmed again that under low laser fluence irradiation of femtosecond laser, the CVD diamond surface shows improved crystallinity of diamond structure. Based on this, a two-step tool edge processing method was proposed, which could realize the edge shaping and surface modification together with one laser processor. And the results show that the processed tool edge with much less edge roundness and surface roughness, and the tip part with better diamond crystallinity, indicating that sharper and hardness tool edge could be possibly to be realized with femtosecond laser.

This paper presents the experimental investigation of the changes in the geometrical shape of femtosecond laser-induced plasma in air under different laser power, and its effects on supercontinuum white light generation and conical emission. When a femtosecond laser is focused into a tiny spot in air, optical breakdown of air molecules occurs and this leads to the generation of plasma filament whose geometrical size and shape depend on laser power. This process is then followed by two light-emitting processes, namely supercontinuum white light generation and conical emission, both of which scatter light that reveals the characteristics of the plasma filament. Our experiment shows that the laser-induced plasma becomes thinner and longer at high average laser power but appears thick and round at lower laser power. At higher laser power, conical emission which scatters laser light in the forward direction dominates the scattering process while at lower laser power, it is the scattering of supercontinuum white light in all directions that plays a bigger role. The intricate rainbow-like pattern formed on a white screen located far away in the forward direction reveals sophisticated nonlinear optical processes that take place in conical emission which slowly diminishes as the laser power is gradually reduced.
