Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of intensity in microwave-assisted laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for remote analysis of nuclear fuel recycling
Motonobu Tampo,Masabumi Miyabe,Katsuaki Akaoka,Masaki Oba,Hironori Ohba,Yoichiro Maruyama,Ikuo Wakaida +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an enhancement of emission intensity from a laser ablation plume, obtained by coupling a pulsed microwave using a simple wire antenna, is demonstrated to compensate the sensitivity reduction of a high resolution spectrometer that is required for nuclear fuel analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double-pulse LIBS of gadolinium oxide ablated by femto- and nano-second laser pulses
TL;DR: In this article, the emission characteristics of gadolinium oxide were studied using ns and fs laser pulses for ablation in double-pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber-optic laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of zirconium metal in air: Special features of the plasma produced by a long-pulse laser
Ayumu Matsumoto,Hironori Ohba,Masaaki Toshimitsu,Katsuaki Akaoka,Alexandre Ruas,Tetsuo Sakka,Ikuo Wakaida +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the emission spectra of zirconium metal in air obtained for a normal-pulse laser (6 ns) and a longpulse (100 ns) (wavelength: 1064nm, pulse energy: 12.5mJ, spot diameter: 0.35mm) were compared to investigate the fundamental aspects of fiber-optic LIBS with the long-Pulse laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absorption spectroscopy of uranium plasma for remote isotope analysis of next-generation nuclear fuel
Masabumi Miyabe,Masaki Oba,H. Iimura,Katsuaki Akaoka,Yoichiro Maruyama,Hironori Ohba,Motonobu Tampo,Ikuo Wakaida +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the plume dynamics of uranium in vacuum and helium environments, and found that an observation time of 3-5μs and an observation height of about 2.5mm are most suitable for obtaining higher sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to zirconium in aqueous solution
TL;DR: In this paper, the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been used for the analysis of zirconium in aqueous solution in a nuclear power plant (F1-NPP) decommissioning process.
