Furthermore the results are often strongly dependent on difficult to control acoustic variables such as sample geometry and sample/detector coupling.

A pulsed beam of high-energy primary ions bombards the sample producing a plume of neutral atoms. The cloud of sputtered neutrals is intersected and ionized by a synchronized, pulsed laser beam tuned to a resonant transition for specific sample atoms. Laser-generated ions are then extracted into a mass spectrometer for mass analysis. Ion beam sputtering allows the sampling process to be highly controlled by varying the energy, current density, and composition of the primary beam; the pulsed nature of the beam results in efficient sample utilization. Use of a micro-focused beam permits imaging of small areas and particles. The pulsed dye laser generates the high optical power necessary to efficiently ionize the sputtered atoms. Mass analysis of the laser-generated ions provides the capability for isotope ratio measurements.","PeriodicalId":331014,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Lasers in Materials Diagnostics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125521578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous methods of surmounting this limitation using various forms of sample and source modulation have been proposed and demonstrated. One technique in particular, familiar to most users of lead-salt diode lasers, incorporates low-frequency wavelength modulation of the laser source and detection at either the first or second harmonics of the modulating waveform. Although this technique has been used successfully to measure weak absorptions, it remains fundamentally limited by diode laser amplitude fluctuations because the signal is detected in a frequency regime where the lasers exhibit considerable excess noise. Although the high frequency noise characteristics of lead-salt diode lasers are complex,1,2 one expects their excess noise power to drop considerably at frequencies larger than the intrinsic laser linewidth. Hence, diode laser frequency modulation at radio-frequencies should offer greater immunity to laser noise and consequently a higher sensitivity to absorption than can be obtained with conventional low frequency techniques.","PeriodicalId":331014,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Lasers in Materials Diagnostics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132583390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
