SS Scientific Ltd
PLASMA SPECTROMETER  -  PLSP  
The PLSP Plasma Spectrometer is a high resolution CCD based spectrometer with an excellent resolution vs sensitivity performance for the monitoring of the plasma composition.
It is suitable for plasma based growth techniques (i.e. sputtering, plasma spray, and particularly for pulsed plasma deposition (PPD).
The proprietary software allows the time evolution of plasma intensity and composition during growth to be monitored by measurement of the relative intensities of selected emission lines.
Data is automatically stored to record deposition conditions.

The image shows the PLSP typical screen
window. At the top is shown the actual plasma
emission spectrum of the plume generated by
PPD ablation of a zinc oxide (ZnO) target.
Ionised and atomic bands of Zn are the intense
lines between 460 and 500 nm.
The actual relative intensity of an ionised and
an atomic Zn line is shown in the bottom right
hand display and the dependence of the relative
intensity during the time span of the deposition
is shown in the lower centre graph.
An expanded view of the spectrum is shown below.
