Spectral studies of nanosecond laser interaction with aluminum-based alloy containing traces of magnesium in air

الملخص EN

Parametric study of optical emission Characterization of the plasma-assisted laser ablation of aluminium-based alloy that contains small traces of magnesium is presented.

The emission of lines from the plasma of the target in the wavelength range 200-900nm has been carefully investigated at the same experimental conditions.

It was found that all the emission intensities of the ionic and neutral magnesium lines are subjected to self-absorption, whereas the aluminium ionic lines were free from self-absorption.

The results assure that, in case of the presence of self- absorption effect, the temperature varies from (1.7952 - 1.1433 eV) as the delay time is varied from 0 to 5 μs.

Whereas, in the case of repairing against the effect, it varies from (1.3240 - 0.9447 eV) for the same delay time variation.

At the same time, according to the McWhirter criterion, the electron density was high enough to establish plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium.
