Abstract :
Recently, the authors demonstrated the first IR LIBS emission signatures from combustion by-products (oxygenated breakdown products) in the 2-5 μm spectral region. In this study, the infrared signature spectral region between 4-12 μm is mined for the appearance of MIR LIBS emissions that are directly indicative of oxygenated breakdown products as well as partially dissociated and recombination molecular species.
