A combination of electrical spark and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which is called spark assisted LIBS (SA-LIBS), has shown its capability in plasma spectral emission enhancement. The aim of this paper is a detailed study of plasma emission to determine the effect of plasma and experimental parameters on increasing the spectral signal. An enhancement ratio of SA-LIBS spectral lines compared with LIBS is theoretically introduced. The parameters affecting the spectral enhancement ratio including ablated mass, plasma temperature, the lifetime of neutral and ionic spectral lines, plasma volume, and electron density are experimentally investigated and discussed. By substitution of the effective parameters, the theoretical spectral enhancement ratio is calculated and compared with the experimental one. Two samples of granite as a dielectric and aluminum as a metal at different laser pulse energies are studied. There is a good agreement between the calculated and the experimental enhancement ratio.
