Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of spectroscopy, and in particular relates to an experimental device for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Background Art

[0002] The spectrum is the pattern of the dispersed monochromatic light arranged in order of wavelength (or frequency) after the complex light is split by a dispersion system (such as a prism or grating). The full name is the optical spectrum. The largest part of the spectrum is the visible spectrum, which is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye. The electromagnetic radiation within this wavelength range is called visible light. The spectrum does not include all the colors that the human brain can distinguish, such as brown and pink.

[0003] Spectral instability is one of the important factors affecting the quantitative accuracy of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology. Different from the traditional LIBS method of breaking down samples at the focus, this paper proposes a method of breaking down samples with a large defocused spot. A copper-zinc alloy target was selected as the experimental object, and the obtained spectrum was preprocessed. By calculating the relative standard deviation (RSD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of the Cu (514.325nm) and Zn (468.01nm) element spectra in the copper-zinc alloy target, it was found that with the laser focus as the center, as the sample moves back and forth along the focus, the effect of the large spectrum can be reflected, and the large spectrum can be fully utilized to improve the stability of detection. By adjusting the focusing lens in the device, the RSD of the spectral signal shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, while the SNR and SBR show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. When the focus is 2-3mm away from the focus, the spot becomes twice the size of the focus, and the RSD of the spectral signal is the smallest at this time. Compared with the focus, the RSD of the large defocused spot is reduced to 1 / 5 of the original, which can significantly improve the stability of detection. The reason is that the defocused large spot breakdown method can effectively increase the sample ablation amount, and the larger spot has a better spatial physical averaging effect. Compared with other methods to improve the stability of LIBS spectra, the defocused large spot breakdown method proposed in this paper is simple, convenient, easy to operate, and has great practical and promotion value.
