Towards ps-LIBS tritium measurements in W/Al materials
Résumé
This communication deals with experimental results crucial for the sizing of picosecond LIBS measurements dedicated to the determination of tritium density profiles in the plasma facing components. Ablation properties in single pulse on aluminum (considered as a surrogate of beryllium) and tungsten have been obtained for 532 and 1064 nm picosecond laser pulses. Then, double pulse experiments have been performed to estimate the role played by the second pulse on the spectral radiance observed for lines representative of the ionization degree of the plasma and possible observation of low radiance lines.
