摘要: We performed a quantitative analysis of time-resolved laser-induced breakdown air plasma spectra to obtain the evolution of temperatures and species relative fractions. The air plasma was generated by focusing a 100 mJ Nd:YAG laser pulse, and the time-resolved spectra were recorded by an intensified charge-coupled device camera with incremental delay. The attention was mainly focused on the emission spectra of the first negative system of nitrogen ($\rm N_2^+$, $\rm{B}^2\Sigma_{\rm u}^{-}$-$\rm{X}^2\Sigma_{\rm g}^+$) and the violet system of carbon nitride (CN, $\rm{B}^2\Sigma^{+}$-$\rm{X}^2\Sigma^+$) located at 383-396 nm. A custom-built model was developed to perform the simulation and fitting of the $\rm N_2^+$ and the $\rm CN$ spectra from the air plasma. The model was verified by comparing to a published model with a 0.9860 Spearman correlation coefficient. With this model, the time-resolved non-equilibrium temperatures and relative fractions of $\rm N_2^+$ and $\rm CN$ were obtained with a fitting correlation coefficient higher than 0.9108.
