In this study, detailed characteristics of the optical near-field based ablation-induced plasma are investigated. A Cr thin metal film samples are ablated using visible and near infrared nanosecond laser pulses coupled through an optical near-field fiber probe. The ablated plasma evolution is visualized through time-resolved emission imaging and further analyzed via spectral measurement. Unveiled qualitative differences in optical near-field ablation configuration are discussed in comparison with optical far-field ablation. The measured results support implementation of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy based on optical near-field ablation.

Time integrated Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy was applied to the study of real samples of polychromes. Two samples respectively from the Spanish Baroque and from the XV century were analysed. The time integrated spectra showed negligible contribution of continuum background emission. The spectra of the Baroque sample indicated the presence of vermilion; this was confirmed by Near Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. LIBS spectra of the XV century sample showed Ca, Al, Mg, Na and Pb lines and the molecular emissions CN(B-X) and C2(d-a). Relative spectral intensities were measured as a function of the number of laser pulses delivered on the same position of the sample. The LIBS analysis was compared to an exhaustive analytical study.
