\textbf{Pulse-Length Effects in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of Plant Materials}

ORAL

Abstract

Duration of laser pulses play a critical role in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Not only does pulse-length influence the emission of the produced plasma, but also effects the interaction of light with the material surfaces. As a consequence, various pulse-length durations may be chosen depending upon the needs and application of the LIBS analysis. We examine nano-, pico-, and femtosecond pulse-length LIBS of plants.
