Book excerpt: Experiments done at very early times, less than 1 \U+00b5\s, confirmed the presence of plasma conditions sufficient to induce Thomson Scattering in a LIBS plasma but the satellite peaks could not be observed. Plasma temperature measurements with multi-element aerosols revealed a distinctive change in the slope of the temperature curve; this reflects the effects on local plasma cooling on plasma properties. A change in the matrix of the aerosols resulted in measurable shifts in the temporal temperature profile. Overall, the current set of experiments shows the strong dependence of the LIBS signal on plasma-particle interactions and highlights the need for a complete understanding of this phenomenon. Finally, additional experiments are proposed to further facilitate this understanding.
