  • Patent number: 10823679
    Abstract: A scanning type laser induced spectrum surface range analysis and detection system includes a laser emitting head connected to an external laser inducing light source, which generates lasers emitted through the laser emitting head, so as to generate laser induced plasma. A focusing optical device converges induction excited laser beams emitted by the laser emitting head onto a surface of a tested sample. Then, a reflector collects wide spectral range induced plasma scattered light signals of the tested sample and converges the signals into a light collecting device. The light collecting device converges induced plasma scattered light into an optical fiber and transmits the induced plasma scattered light to an external spectrograph; and the external spectrograph divides a spectrum formed by the plasma to obtain spectral strength data of different wavelengths.

  • Patent number: 10712281
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting steel sample components by using a multi-pulse laser induced plasma spectral analysis device, and in particular, to a method for detecting steel sample components by using a multi-pulse laser induced plasma spectral analysis device that includes picosecond and nanosecond laser pulse widths. A laser induced light source is a laser light source that includes nanosecond and picosecond ultrashort pulses, and one pulse laser device can be used to generate two pulse lasers, namely, a nanosecond and a picosecond laser; the two pulse lasers pass through a same output and focusing light path, so as to ensure that the two pulse lasers are focused on a same position of a sample to be detected; a surface of the sample is irradiated by using a first beam of nanosecond laser pulse to generate plasmas; subsequently, the plasmas are irradiated by using a second beam of picosecond laser pulse to enhance spectral line emission.
