Results are presented for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a method for measuring salt concentrations in sea water aerosol droplets. An excimer laser, operating at high pulse energy with KrF gas produces laser-induced breakdown plasmas in an aerosol spray. Emission lines of Na and H are monitored with an optical multi-channel analyzer to characterize the plasma spatially and temporally. 1, record 5, English, - laser%2Dinduced%20breakdown%20spectroscopy

Claquage induit par éclair laser [...] Le claquage est produit par le champ électrique associé à une onde lumineuse très énergétique fournie par des lasers pulsés [...] associés à des dispositifs électro-optiques adéquats(durée de l'éclair : 1 à 200 ns). Le faisceau est focalisé sur une ampoule contenant le liquide(ce qui permet de s’affranchir des problèmes d’électrodes) ;le claquage est détecté par l'apparition d’une émission lumineuse. Les champs de claquage optique(laser induced breakdown) dépendent fortement de la structure moléculaire. 3, record 5, French, - spectroscopie%20par%20claquage%20induit%20par%20%C3%A9clair%20laser
