Ig. Dors et al., SPECTROSCOPIC TEMPERATURE DETERMINATION OF ALUMINUM MONOXIDE IN LASER-ABLATION WITH 266-NM RADIATION, Optics letters, 23(22), 1998, pp. 1778-1780
We report time-resolved measurements of diatomic aluminum monoxide spe
ctra in the study of laser ablation by the use of frequency-quadrupled
266 Mm Nd:YAG laser radiation. Spectroscopic temperatures of 3432(35)
K and 3329(13) K are obtained at a delay time of 20 mu s, respectivel
y, by the use of the modified diatomic Boltzmann plot and by the use o
f the Nelder-Mead algorithm in the fitting of the recorded spectrum. (
