Enhanced line emission from laser-produced plasmas
Abstract
This communication reports the first systematic study on background gas-induced, spectral line emission enhancement from laser-produced plasmas. Line emission from aluminum plasmas was enhanced by factors of up to 35 by the introduction of He, Ne, Xe, or N2. The enhancement has been attributed to three-body recombination.
