Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Lab

282
AES is a powerful analytical technique, especially effective when used with plasma sources, producing abundant spectra in characteristic emission lines. The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), in particular, yields superior quantitative analytical data due to its high stability, low noise, low background, and minimal interferences under optimal experimental conditions. However, newer air-operated microwave sources are emerging as promising alternatives that could be more cost-effective than...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

697
The instrumentation of atomic emission spectrometry (AES) involves various components, including atomization devices that convert samples into gas-phase atoms and ions. There are two main types of atomization devices: continuous and discrete atomizers.  Continuous atomizers, like plasmas and flames, introduce samples in a constant stream, while discrete atomizers inject individual samples using syringes or autosamplers. The most common discrete atomizer is the electrothermal atomizer.

  • Two distinct pumping schemes targeting the 4I11/2 and 4I9/2 energy levels were employed.
  • Spectroscopic measurements were performed to determine emission cross-section, gain bandwidth, and excited-state lifetime.

    • Main Results:

    • A peak output power of 255 mW at 2.80 µm was achieved in the QCW regime.
    • A high slope efficiency of 10.9% and a low laser threshold of 58 mW were recorded.
    • The Er3+ ions in KY3F10 exhibited a large stimulated-emission cross-section (0.57×10^-20 cm^2), broad gain bandwidth (40 nm), and a long upper-state lifetime (4.64 ms).

    Conclusions:

    • The cubic 15 at.% Er3+:KY3F10 crystal shows excellent potential for efficient mid-infrared laser generation at 2.80 µm.
    • The investigated material properties support its use in developing high-performance solid-state lasers.
    • Further optimization of pumping schemes and cavity designs could lead to even higher laser performance.
