The high dependence of polarization resolved laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy on experimental conditions

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/7/074204

Abstract It is shown that the continuum emission produced by the Al alloy ablated by femtosecond laser pulses is much more polarized than the characteristic lines of elements. A Glan--Thomson polarizer is used in the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy experiment to investigate the polarization effect. The use of polarizer at its minimal transmission increases the signal-to-noise ratio. The effects of angle of detection, focal position, and pulse energy on the signal-to-noise ratio are also studied.
