Fast Classification of Geographical Origins of Honey Based on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and Multivariate Analysis
摘要： Traceability of honey is highly required by consumers and food administration with the consideration of food safety and quality. In this study, a technique named laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to fast trace geographical origins of acacia honey and multi-floral honey. LIBS emissions from elements of Mg, Ca, Na, and K had significant differences among different geographical origins. The clusters of honey from different geographical origins were visualized with principal component analysis. In addition, support vector machine (SVM) and linear discrimination analysis (LDA) were used to quantitively classify the origins. The results indicated that SVM performed better than LDA, and the discriminant results of multi-floral honey were better than acacia honey. The accuracy and mean average precision for multi-floral honey were 99.7% and 99.7%, respectively. This study provided a fast approach for geographical origin classification, and might be helpful for food traceability.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of uranium in the VUV range
摘要： Quantitative analysis of impurities in nuclear materials is necessary in a number of areas, including process control during manufacturing, quality control of products, or for nuclear forensics purposes. Due to the important handling constraints induced by the samples radioactivity and their containment inside airtight enclosures, optical analytical techniques have great advantages over standard ones that require sample preparation, like ICP-based techniques. Therefore, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is developed for fast quantitative analysis of impurities in uranium. Actinides are well-known to have a very large number of emission lines in the UV-visible spectral range, hence making the detection of trace or minor elements a real challenge. Therefore, in this study we explored the vacuum ultraviolet range (VUV), i.e. below 200 nm, in order to investigate if this spectral region is more favorable for elemental analysis of uranium by LIBS. As practically no data on VUV spectroscopy of uranium are available, we first analyzed the spectra obtained to assess the spectral density of uranium lines, both in the UV and VUV. Then, the detection limits of two elements, carbon and vanadium, were estimated. It was found that, in spite of a less dense and less intense uranium background in the VUV, this spectral region is not relevant for metal impurities whose spectra are marginally analytically useful in the VUV. Conversely, for non-metals having intense lines in the VUV, the detection limit can be significantly better than in the UV. This was already known for non-nuclear samples. This study extends that conclusion to nuclear materials and has important practical consequences on the implementation of a LIBS analyzer in a nuclear facility.

High-accuracy prediction of carbon content in semi-coke by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
摘要： Semi-coke, as one kind of special coal resource with relatively high concentration carbon and low volatility, plays an important role in the coal chemical industry and city clean. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has been proved as an effective way to make an online analysis for the coal products. However, the lower volatility of semi-coke makes it hard to be pressed into a slice to get a smooth surface for a uniform laser-irradiation. Therefore, it is necessary to find an effective way to realize a high-accuracy LIBS detection for semi-coke application. Herein, two feasible ways of sample preparation are tried, one easy way is directly painting semi-coke powders on a tape that suitable for online fast monitoring, and the other complicated way is to mix binder into the semi-coke powder then that the uniformly and tightly coal slices are obtained, thus to improve the repeatability of measurement. Moreover, a totally new algorithm, support vector machine (SVM) combined with partial least square (PLS) regression(SVM-PLS), is utilized to establish an effective prediction model to make a high prediction accuracy. The coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), and average relative error (ARE) are 0.944, 0.90%, and 0.80%, respectively. In comparison with the result of the traditional PLS model, the SVM residual correction greatly improves the quality of the calibration curve and makes RMSEP and ARE reduced 0.17%, thus improves the prediction accuracy, which is much better than basic PLS regression. Meanwhile, the prediction error from binder mixed semi-coke slice is significantly reduced compared to that with directly painting samples on a tape. The maximum relative errors (MRE) are 2.71% and 5.19%, and the average RSD of the characteristic peaks are 12.1% and 16.2%, respectively, indicating that the easy way with painting sample on tape has little prediction uncertainties. Finally, in a three-day random test, the average RMSEP is 1.89% and average ARE is 1.74%, which also proves the binder additive can effectively reduce the matrix effect and enhance the stability of the spectrum for semi-coke measurement. The result proposes the proper LIBS analysis on semi-coke is a feasible and promising approach for on-line prediction of such kind of coal sample.

Concentric multipass cell enhanced double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for sensitive elemental analysis
摘要： Although double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) is regarded as a promising technique in trace element analysis, its limit of detection (LOD) is not sufficient for some applications. The enhancement of spectral signal is the key to further improve the sensitivity of DP-LIBS. To further increase the sensitivity of DP-LIBS, a concentric multipass cell (CMC) enhanced DP-LIBS (CMC-DP-LIBS) technique is proposed for the first time, which makes full use of the energy of reheating laser by multi-reflection in CMC to enhance the spectral signal and lower LOD. 2.3 times signal enhancement of Mn I 403.08 nm line and 2.3 times decrease of LOD of Mn on the surface of zinc bulk compared with traditional orthogonal reheating DP-LIBS were attained. The signal enhancement factor can reach to 3.6 theoretically with the increase of reflectivity and the sizes of mirrors of CMC. This CMC-DP-LIBS provides a new approach to further improve the sensitivity of DP-LIBS and promotes its application in trace element detection.

Plasma chemistry produced during laser ablation of graphite in air, argon, helium and nitrogen
摘要： Laser-induced plasma chemistry produced during the ablation of graphite targets at atmospheric pressure in air, argon, helium and nitrogen was studied through time-resolved atomic and molecular emission spectroscopy. The plasma plume and plasma chemistry were generated by focusing a 6-mm diameter, 212 mJ, 1064-nm nanosecond Nd:YAG laser to a spot size of about 1 mm diameter over graphite samples of 99.9% pureness. The atomic emissions C I 247.86 nm, N I 821.50 nm and O I 777.19 nm, and the molecular bands C2 (473.71 nm) and CN (359.04 nm and 388.30 nm) were monitored as a function of time (0.2 to 220 μs). While the C I and C2 emissions followed a near-exponential decay, the CN emission in air and nitrogen showed an emission behavior characterized by two local maxima at 0.2 μs and 20-30 μs after the plasma ignition. The first maximum was explained by the early plasma chemistry produced by the ablated carbon species and the confining background gas, whereas the second maximum was attributed to atomic recombination and shock wave-induced excitation of the plasma plume. Two main effects were observed when the ablation was produced in different background gases. First, the presence of oxygen (≈21%) in air had a negligible effect on atomic lines; however, the CN emission intensity and lifetime were significantly reduced in comparison with an atmosphere of 100% nitrogen. This was attributed to the reduction of nitrogen species as reaction partners during the plasma chemistry in air. Secondly, due to the assumed higher plasma temperature in Ar, this gas favored the emission intensity and lifetime of atomic species but hindered the formation of C2 species. Because the collection optics of the emission spectroscopy system was configured in backscatter mode, which integrates over the entire plasma volume and gate time without spatial resolution, the time-resolved behavior of the plasma emissions were only related to the number density of emitters but not to specific locations in the plasma volume.

Forensic soil analysis using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Fourier transform infrared total attenuated reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR): Principles and case studies
摘要： Soils are crucial trace evidence that can establish or exclude the relationship between a suspect, victim, or an object at a particular scene, which could contribute to building a case. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy have been demonstrated to be effective techniques for soil characterization owing to its being rapid, non-destructive, and convenient analysis with little sample preparation requirements. Therefore, the principles of LIBS and FTIR-ATR techniques for soil forensic analysis in typical soil samples were investigated and their practical feasibility was tested by applying the techniques to forensic soil samples in two criminal cases. Principal component analysis (PCA) of a typical soil sample indicated that five typical soil types were clearly distinguished by LIBS and FTIR-ATR spectra. Variations in the soil elements (i.e., Si, Mg, Al, Ca, K, O, and N) and functional groups (i.e., O?H/N?H, C=C/C=O, Si?O, CO3 2?, Al?OH, and NH2) are crucial indicators for soil identification. The casework results demonstrated that both LIBS and FTIR-ATR show great potential for forensic soil analysis in future cases.

Express: Time-Gated Single-Shot Picosecond Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (ps-LIBS) for Equivalence-Ratio Measurements
摘要： Time-gated picosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (ps-LIBS) for the determination of local equivalence ratios in atmospheric-pressure adiabatic methane–air flames is demonstrated. Traditional LIBS for equivalence-ratio measurements employ nanosecond (ns)-laser pulses, which generate excessive amounts of continuum, reducing measurement accuracy and precision. Shorter pulse durations reduce the continuum emission by limiting avalanche ionization. Furthermore, by contrast the use of femtosecond lasers, plasma emission via picosecond-laser excitation has high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), allowing single-shot measurements suitable for equivalence-ratio determination in turbulent reacting flows. We carried out an analysis of the dependence of the plasma emission ratio Hα (656 nm)/NII (568 nm) on laser energy and time-delay for optimization of S/N and minimization of measurement uncertainties in the equivalence ratios. Our finding shows that higher laser energy and shorter time delay reduces measurement uncertainty while maintaining high S/N. In addition to atmospheric-pressure flame studies, we also examine the stability of the ps-LIBS signal in a high-pressure nitrogen cell. The results indicate that the plasma emission and spatial position could be stable, shot-to-shot, at elevated pressure (up to 40 bar) using a lower excitation energy. Our work shows the potential of using ps-duration pulses to improve LIBS-based equivalence-ratio measurements, both in atmospheric and high-pressure combustion environments.

Influence of aluminum nanoparticles and binders on the laser initiation of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine
摘要： Aluminum nanoparticles were added into cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) to enhance the laser absorption and lower the initiation energy of pulse laser. Polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), and fluororubber (F2314) were added into RDX as binders to prepare the RDX-based composite explosives with desirable mechanical behavior. The influence of aluminum nanoparticles and binders on the light absorption, thermal behavior, laser initiation energy and the electron temperature in aluminum plasma were investigated using reflectance spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, laser initiation and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Results showed that the addition of aluminum nanoparticles could prominently lower the laser initiation energy of the RDX-based explosives. The RDX doped with 2.0% aluminum nanoparticles could be reliably initiated with 1.5 J/cm2 laser energy (1064 nm, 8 ns). The laser initiation energy increased to 1.7, 2.4 and 2.9 J/cm2 with the additions of 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% F2314 binders, respectively. When the addition of PVA and PVB increased to 2.0%, the RDX-based explosives couldn’t be initiated by pulse laser. When the pulse laser radiated on the surface of the RDX-based composite explosives, the aluminum nanoparticles absorbed the laser energy and were heated to high temperature to initiate the explosives. The addition of binders can provide desirable mechanical behavior, but the laser initiation energy increased because the heat transmission from aluminum nanoparticles to RDX was hindered.

Hence, the application field is very wide. In this paper, the basic status of μLIBS in the selection of laser source and the structure of optical path system is introduced, and its application in metal, semiconductor, animal and plant fields is reviewed.

Copper particle contamination detection of oil-immersed transformer using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
摘要： The deterioration of transformer oil caused by particle contamination, especially copper particle, seriously affects the safe operation of oil-immersed transformers. Therefore, it is very important for the detection of metal particles in transformer oil. A new method based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was first applied in the transformer oil diagnosis field. By screening out effective spots, the correlation between Cu particle concentration and LIBS signal was obtained after testing a set of oil samples with concentration range from 0.54 to 12.4 μg/g; the calibration curves of Cu I 324.75 nm / CN 358.6 nm and Cu I 327.39 nm /CN 358.6 nm were therefore established. The results shown high linearity, and the determination coefficient R2 of the two calibration curves in range from 0.54 to 3.1 μg/g were superior to 0.99. The limit of detection (LOD) inferred from Cu I 324.75 nm /CN 358.6 nm fitting curve was 0.77 μg/g and met the critical value specified by industry standards. Due to its flexibility, it can be used as a new-type of particle concentration detection method for transformer oil.
