Approaches to signal correction and standardization in laser spectroscopy
Schiffer, Štěpán ; Hrdlička, Aleš (referee) ; Pořízka, Pavel (advisor)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the study of a sample position influence on results of an experiment in laser spectroscopy. The aim is to design an appropriate way for standardization of signal obtained at different conditions with the respect to its applicability for stand-off analysis. In the theoretical part of the diploma thesis there are the basics of LIBS method described together with the issues of stand-off experiment and both, basic and advanced approches for the processing and correction of obtained spectra. Also the experiment is designed here, which is used for the analysis of the sample inclination and distance influence on the detected signal. The choice of appropriate ways for the signal correction follows and their applicability and efficiency is then experimentally tested.

Korelace charakteristických signálů laserem buzeného plazmatu
Terschová, Vanda ; Novotný, Karel (referee) ; Pořízka, Pavel (advisor)
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a fast analytical method, but can also be complicated. This spectroscopic method is used to provide a qualitative and quantitative analysis of a sample. The analysis is carried out by capturing the emission radiation of the generated plasma. The accuracy and stability of the measurement is affected by several parameters, such as stability of the laser, physical and chemical properties of the sample, its homogeneity and others, that can not always be eliminated. For this reason other methods are being added to the LIBS experiment that could improve the quality of this analysis. This diploma thesis is focused on a research of the literature on the standardization of laser-induced plasma signal and the possibility of using an acoustic signal for this purpose. For this reason , it is necessary to perform basic experiments and to verify if the acoustic signal correlates with the emission signal. If these signals correlate together, it would be possible to use the acoustic signal for standardization og the LIBS data, which would improve the accuracy of the analysis. In the theoretical part at the beginning other spectroscopic methods are summarised. Then the work is focused on the description of the LIBS method, possible ways of the analysis, standardization of emission signals and its review in the literature. The experimental part is aimed at the study of the acoustic signal that was performed in the framework of this study. At the beginning, there are introduced results of the basic measurements on steel and brass samples. These results were important for an optimization of the experiment. The following section shows the results obtained from the measurements of the acoustic signal on the samples with the same chemical composition but different hardness. At the end the correlation between the acoustic and emission signals is discussed.
