  • Radially homogeneous high energy density UV sample ablating laser radiation in "pure" solid to gas sample preparation , for analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES
    Publication number: 20020163735
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems for, and methods of forming and applying 40 micron or greater diameter, substantially radially homogeneous, relatively high, (eg. 30-60 or greater J/cm 2), energy density, preferably 200-380 nm UV wavelength, (typically Nd-YAG Iraser produced 213 nm or 266 nm wavelength), electromagnetic radiation laser pulse(s), or equivalent in a continuous wave, to uniformly substantially purely optically ablate material from sample systems; coupled with analysis thereof in (ICP-OES), (ICP-MS), (MIP-OES), (MIP-MS) or other plasma based analysis systems, with relative freedom from calibration errors arising from element fractionation.
