Laser induced plasma provides information about the elemental composition of sample surface and through spectroscopy vital information about plasma dynamics can be obtained. In this paper we present the diagnostics of laser induced plasma at various pressures of Air, Helium and Argon gases. Graphite sample was ablated with Q-smart 850 laser while spectra were captured  Plasma parameters have been calculated by using well known methods based on Saha and Boltzmann equations. Plasma temperature was calculated relative intensity of ionic carbon lines CII 251.21 nm and CII 426.73 nm while the electron density was determined by using spectroscopic information of CI 247.85 nm and CII 426.73 nm emission lines in Saha equation. Plasma temperature and electron density were found to be dependent upon nature and pressure of the ambient atmosphere. Higher temperatures and electron densities were obtained in the presence of Air as ambient environment that is attributed to electrical and physical properties of the Air. Keeping into consideration the plasma expansion in various environments the selection of a suitable ambient pressure can be made on the basis of spectral diagnostics of plasma for a particular laser energy to obtain desirable plasma temperature and electron density suited for certain applications.

We report spectroscopic studies of laser-induced plasma (LIP) produced by ns-IR-Nd:YAG laser light pulses of different energies onto four different oxides of vanadium (VO, V2O3, VO2, and V2O5) in air under atmospheric pressure. For each oxide with a different oxidation state of vanadium, both electron density and plasma temperature were calculated for different time delays and laser pulse energies. The plasma temperature was determined from Boltzmann plot method, whereas the electron number density was estimated from the Saha equation. The decay rates for plasma temperature as well as electron density were observed to follow power law and were independent of the nature of vanadium oxide. These investigations provide an insight to optimize various parameters during LIBS analysis of vanadium-based matrices.

For simple plasma diagnostics for laser-induced plasma (LIP) under the condition of optically thin, taking the Cu I spectral lines produced by the laser-induced copper plasma, we investigate a simple method for temperature and electron density diagnostics, and we obtain the plasma temperature which has 104 K order of magnitude and the averaged electron density is [Formula: see text], which are in agreement with that obtained by other methods. This investigation will be significant for spectral diagnostics for LIP.
