2 Laser Intensity Evolution High Intensity I c >10 19 W/cm 2 Chirped Pulse Amplification Broad Band Solid State Lasers (Ti:Sapphire) T 3 systems

3 There are three T 3 Ti:Sapphire Systems at IPEN n (open system) 30 GW, 50 fs, 1 khz@790 nm - Odin n 30 GW@25 fs (60 GW@ 5 fs), 4 khz@785 nm - Femtopower, n 10 GW, 30 fs, 10 kz integrated into a x-y-z system These systems have intensities smaller than W/cm 2 Laser Intensities in the range of Partial to total Ionization

4 Keldysh Model for ionization W/cm 2 < Intensity < W/cm 2 Multiphoton tunneling (barrier supression) For I W/cm 2 suppression of the Barrier leads to full ionization. Energy level Energy level The oscillating field strength is ~ W/cm 2

5 I ~ W/cm 2 Plasma Plasma = ionization, recombination and emission Optics & Photonics News Photo winner - Calendar 2010

6 Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy - LIBS Macronutrients in plants: P, K, Ca and Mg. Analogous to analy,cal methods but SIMPLER! Potassium Grant 04/ Evaluation of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy for the determination of macronutrients in plant materials, Spectrochimica Acta Part b, 63 (2008)

7 Dental AMALGAM Spectra of Metallic elements like silver, mercury, copper and tin emission lines metals diffuse into the dentin by the same mechanism. This diffusion mechanism is mainly through liquid dragging inside the dentin tubules. The femtosecond-libs system can detect the presence of metals in the dental tissue, among the tooth constituent elements (100 µm); Mercury Amalgam Diffusion in Human Teeth Probed Using Femtosecond LIBS, Applied Spectroscopy, Volume: 71 issue: 4, page(s): , 2017
