Analytical Spectroscopy Using Laser Atomizers

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 119))

Abstract

In this article, laser as a source of thermal energy supplementing customary spectrochemical excitation sources will be treated. It is therefore necessary to first explain the properties of typical excitation sources. In optical spectrochemical analysis, chemical elements contained in a sample are determined with the help of their optical line spectra. This can only be done, if a representative part of a solid or liquid sample is first converted into atomic vapor. Free atoms can then either be determined with the help of their absorption spectra or, if suitably excited, with the help of their emission spectra. It is, of course, also possible to detect the elements with the help of ionized atoms either by atomic emission spectroscopy or by mass spectrometry.
