Both the IR Cl peak at 837.59nm and the UV peak at 134.72nm are investigate for their ability to detect Chlorine in concrete. Measurements are performed in a sample chamber which can be filled with He gas - to improve the detection limits by the use of a buffer gas, and to reduce the UV absorption that would occur in air. Interestingly the Cl peak intensity as a function of He gas pressure was different for the IR compared to the UV peak. Single and Double Pulse LIBS are compared. |
