Comparison of the Core and Tail Spectra of a Laser Plasma Plume for the Analysis of a Low-Alloy Steel Composition Using Partial Least Squares Regression
摘要
Results of low-alloy steel analysis using classical calibration and partial least squares regression when recording spectra from the core and tail of a laser plasma plume were compared. Plasma was excited using an erbium glass laser with a passive shutter. Spectra were recorded using a compact low-resolution (0.5 nm) spectrometer. Preliminary processing associated with the alignment of wavelengths and intensities of control sections of the spectrum was used to improve the quality of the spectra.
