Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in the vacuum ultraviolet range (VUV, lambda<200 nm) is employed for the detection of trace elements in polyethylene (PE) that are difficult to detect in the UV/VIS range. For effective laser ablation of PE, we use a F-2 laser (wavelength lambda = 157 nm) with a laser pulse length of 20 ns, a pulse energy up to 50 mJ, and pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz. The optical radiation of the laser-induced plasma is measured by a VUV spectrometer with detection range down to lambda = 115 nm. A gated photon-counting system is used to acquire time-resolved spectra. From LIBS measurements of certified polymer reference materials, we obtained a limit of detection (LOD) of 50 mu g/g for sulphur and 215 mu g/g for zinc, respectively. The VUV LIBS spectra of PE are dominated by strong emission lines of neutral and ionized carbon atoms. From time-resolved measurements of the carbon line intensities, we determine the temporal evolution of the electronic plasma temperature, T-e. For this, we use Saha-Boltzmann plots with the electron density in the plasma, N-e, derived from the broadening of the hydrogen H-alpha line. With the parameters T-e and N-e, we calculate the intensity ratio of the atomic sulphur and carbon lines at 180.7 nm and at 175.2 nm, respectively. The calculated intensity ratios are in good agreement with the experimentally measured results. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
