Abstract

In this paper the flexibility of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has been proved for the analysis of water solutions. The plasma is generated directly in the bulk of a water solution by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064). The emission signal of four different solutions has been studied: AlCl3, NaCl, CaCO3 and LiF. The basic mechanisms influencing the emission signal and the experimental tricks for the optimization of the detection mode have been pointed out.
