Summary: The study utilized shadowgraphy setup to observe shockwaves created during material ablation, revealing differences in ablation process among different samples. By calculating the initial energy of the expansion, it was found that similar energy was needed to ablate steel and glass samples, while approximately half of that energy was needed for bronze and soft tissues. These findings were compared with the thermal properties of the samples.

Summary: This paper discusses the use of conventional LIBS and LIBS-LIF techniques for measuring trace amounts of palladium in solid ore samples. The study optimized the performances of LIBS-LIF for spectrochemical analysis of palladium by studying the combination of excitation/fluorescence of Pd lines and plasma creation conditions. Calibration curves were established using reference materials doped with a palladium solution. The results demonstrated that LIBS-LIF could rapidly measure sub-ppm levels of palladium in solid ore samples without any sample preparation, and it could resolve the spectral interference which is problematic with conventional LIBS.

Summary: The impact of altering laser focusing conditions on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy experiments was investigated in both ambient Earth laboratory and simulated Martian atmospheres. Results showed that the peak emissions of ionic species occur when the laser plasma is initiated with a focused spot within the sample in ambient Earth laboratory air, while atomic emissions have peak intensities several millimeters deeper into the sample. In simulated Martian atmospheres, atomic emissions peak when the laser is focused within the sample, while ionic emissions have peak intensities near the surface of the sample.

Summary: The illegal timber trade poses a significant threat to endangered tropical hardwood species like rosewood. In order to address this threat and take appropriate action, analytical methods are needed to identify rosewood species at port of entry. Handheld laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has the potential to identify species and determine the origin of rosewood and other tropical hardwoods, but detailed analysis methods for this work have not been extensively investigated.

Summary: The study used LIBS for real-time monitoring of the laser cleaning process on stainless steel, with the Fe-I and Cr-I emission line intensity ratio identified as a quantitative index for cleaning evaluation. The RIR value sharply increases when the cleaned surface becomes brighter and smoother, but remains large when over-cleaning occurs. This monitoring method helps determine optimal laser cleaning parameters to prevent re-oxidation and reduce surface roughness.

Summary: In this study, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology combined with chemometrics was successfully used to classify chrysanthemum from nine different geographical sources. The first derivative combined with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm (1st Der-LASSO) was selected as the best processing method. According to the importance of variables calculated by the random forest (RF) model, Fe was the most important element to distinguish chrysanthemum from different origins.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of various parameters on the ablation of steel and brass with a nanosecond fiber laser. The results show that pulse duration and repetition rate have an effect on the material removal rate (MRR), and shielding by plasma and ejected material plays a role in reducing MRR. The surface roughness is mainly influenced by line-to-line and pulse-to-pulse overlaps.

Summary: We propose a method for fabricating curved, meandering grooves with submicrometer spacing by laser irradiation in liquid, using cavitation bubbles as diffraction objects to spatially modulate the intensity distribution of the beam. The bubbles are manipulated with thermooptical tweezers by thermocapillary forces, allowing the generation of regular arc-shaped concentric microgroove channels.
