Ablation chamber for a combination of LIBS and LA-ICP-MS techniques
Sovadina, Petr ; Kuchynka, Michaela (referee) ; Novotný, Jan (advisor)
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS) are spectroscopic techniques that use a pulsed laser to ablate the material in their analysis. Although LA-ICP-MS can reach a much lower detection limit than LIBS, it is not able to detect elements of organic compounds, halogens, and noble gases. By combining these two spectroscopic techniques, it is possible to overcome these shortcomings, to analyze all elements with LIBS, and also to analyze with a lower detection limit with LA-ICP-MS. To perform this combination of spectroscopic techniques, it was necessary to design an ablation chamber that would simultaneously support both LIBS and LA-ICP-MS measurements. The design of the ablation chamber consists of the mechanical design, the simulation of the gas flow inside the chamber, and finally its fabrication and assembly.

Collection system design for multichannel spectrometer
Sovadina, Petr ; Buday, Jakub (referee) ; Novotný, Jan (advisor)
In laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, the intensity of radiation that enters the spectrometer is crucial. Ideally, the collection of radiation is from a single point of plasma. The greater the intensity of radiation is, the more perspicuous the graph of wavelengths is. Therefore, it is necessary to have the best optimized optical collection system. The existing collection system was not designed for connection to a multichannel spectrometer. The use of the optical multifibre resulted in a collection of radiation from different spots in plasma. Therefore, there was a request for a new optical system designed to collect radiation from a single point of plasma and would be suited for the best collection of radiation. The designed and manufactured collection system was tested. During the test was discovered that the collection system can be calibrated well and allows collection from one point of plasma. The test is considered successful.
