Abstract: | This article reports what are to the authors' knowledge the first gas-phase laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) measurements using a fiber-optically delivered spark. A silver- and polymer-coated hollow fiber delivered high-energy nanosecond 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser pulses, which were focused to generate high-energy-density plasmas in ultra-lean methane-air mixtures. Emissions from these plasmas were collected and spectroscopically analyzed to quantify relative fuel-to-air ratio. These measurements were compared with others made using traditional LIBS techniques without the fiber-optically delivered spark. Similar results were obtained, but with larger shot-to-shot variability, for the case of the fiber-optically delivered spark. |
