Enhancement of detection limits in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) using nanoparticles
Képeš, Erik ; Prochazka, David (referee) ; Sládková, Lucia (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis describes the options of ehnancing the detection limits of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). It summarizes different modifications of the classical LIBS apparatus, which are used by methods double-pulsed LIBS (DPLIBS), Townsend effect plasma sectroscopy (TEPS), resonance enhanced LIBS (RELIBS), spark discharge LIBS (SDLIBS), flame-enhanced LIBS (FELIBS), and new ways of sample preparation, such as are used in the method nanoparticle enhanced LIBS (NELIBS). It briefly describes the mechanisms, which are used by each method to reduce the detection limit and it contains an overview of obtained enhancements against the classical method LIBS. It deals with the method nanoparticle enhanced LIBS in more detail and experimentally verifies and studies the effects of nanoparticles of different types and sizes on the emission spectrum of the method LIBS.

Creation of spectral lines database of selected standards for Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and double pulse Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (DP LIBS)
Mazura, Martin ; Sládková, Lucia (referee) ; Kaiser, Jozef (advisor)
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has a great potential across a different fields of use. Wide use of this method is still complicated because of some problems. The most important problem is difficult analysis of obtained measurement results. Nowadays mostly used analysis is based on comparison of measured data with databases created in different way. This bachelor’s thesis deals with creation of spectral lines database for LIBS and it also shows the methodology for spectral lines database assembling. Theoretical basis of the method and experimental setup used for measurements is described in the first part of this thesis. Further, there are described measurements of standards and creation of database. The result of this work presents a database of spectral lines containing 14 elements and more than 500 spectral lines. In order to illustrate database utilization it was established composition of an unknown sample.

Possibilities of three-dimensional imaging in transmitted-light holographic microscope
Sládková, Lucia ; Jákl, Petr (referee) ; Kolman, Pavel (advisor)
Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is noninvasive method for obtaining images even from samples with low contrast. Nowadays DHM design makes it possible to illuminate sample by broad light source, halogene lamp. Broad light source is displayed in the front focal plane of condensor in such way, that Köhler illumination is achieved. Each point of the source corresponds to a plane wave in image field of objective, which illuminates the whole field of view, but from different direction. Position of the point determines the direction of illumination. In this reason, the microscope enables so reconstruct not only intensity, but also phase of object wave. New designed and constructed interchangeable pinhole aperture modify broad light illumination by rotation around the optical axis. Aperture is placed eccentrically considering the optical axis of microscope. Incidence of light beam on a sample would be under defined angle. After the reconstruction of taken phase images from individual angles of illumination should be possible to obtain three-dimensional structure of the sample.
