RESUMEN

This paper describes the effects of laser pulse rate and solution flow rate on the determination of lithium at high pressure for water and 2.5% sodium chloride solutions using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Preliminary studies were performed with 0-40 mg L-1 Li solutions, at ambient pressure and at 210 bar, and in static and flowing (6 mL · min-1) regimes, for a combination of four different measurement conditions. The sensitivity of calibration curves depended on the pressure and the flow rate, as well as the laser pulse rate. The sensitivity of the calibration curve increased about 10% and 18% when the pressure was changed from 1 to 210 bar for static and flowing conditions, respectively. However, an effect of flow rate at high pressure for both 2 and 10 Hz laser pulse rates was observed. At ambient pressure, the effect of flow rate was negligible, as the sensitivity of the calibration curve decreased around 2%, while at high pressure the sensitivity increased around 4% when measurements were performed in a flow regime. Therefore, it seems there is a synergistic effect between pressure and flow rate, as the sensitivity increases significantly when both changes are considered. When the pulse rate is changed from 2 to 10 Hz, the sensitivity increases 26-31%, depending on the pressure and flow conditions. For lithium detection limit studies, performed with a laser pulse energy of 2.5 mJ, repetition rate of 10 Hz, gate delay of 500 ns, gate width of 1000 ns, and 1000 accumulations, a value around 40 µg L-1 was achieved for Li solutions in pure water for all four measurement conditions, while a detection limit of about 92 µg L-1 was determined for Li in 2.5% sodium chloride solutions, when high pressure and flowing conditions were employed. The results obtained in the present work demonstrate that LIBS is a powerful tool for the determination of Li in deep ocean conditions such as those found around hydrothermal vent systems.

RESUMEN

The SuperCam instrument suite provides the Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance, with a number of versatile remote-sensing techniques that can be used at long distance as well as within the robotic-arm workspace. These include laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), remote time-resolved Raman and luminescence spectroscopies, and visible and infrared (VISIR; separately referred to as VIS and IR) reflectance spectroscopy. A remote micro-imager (RMI) provides high-resolution color context imaging, and a microphone can be used as a stand-alone tool for environmental studies or to determine physical properties of rocks and soils from shock waves of laser-produced plasmas. SuperCam is built in three parts: The mast unit (MU), consisting of the laser, telescope, RMI, IR spectrometer, and associated electronics, is described in a companion paper. The on-board calibration targets are described in another companion paper. Here we describe SuperCam's body unit (BU) and testing of the integrated instrument. The BU, mounted inside the rover body, receives light from the MU via a 5.8 m optical fiber. The light is split into three wavelength bands by a demultiplexer, and is routed via fiber bundles to three optical spectrometers, two of which (UV and violet; 245-340 and 385-465 nm) are crossed Czerny-Turner reflection spectrometers, nearly identical to their counterparts on ChemCam. The third is a high-efficiency transmission spectrometer containing an optical intensifier capable of gating exposures to 100 ns or longer, with variable delay times relative to the laser pulse. This spectrometer covers 535-853 nm ( 105 - 7070 cm - 1 Raman shift relative to the 532 nm green laser beam) with 12 cm - 1 full-width at half-maximum peak resolution in the Raman fingerprint region. The BU electronics boards interface with the rover and control the instrument, returning data to the rover. Thermal systems maintain a warm temperature during cruise to Mars to avoid contamination on the optics, and cool the detectors during operations on Mars. Results obtained with the integrated instrument demonstrate its capabilities for LIBS, for which a library of 332 standards was developed. Examples of Raman and VISIR spectroscopy are shown, demonstrating clear mineral identification with both techniques. Luminescence spectra demonstrate the utility of having both spectral and temporal dimensions. Finally, RMI and microphone tests on the rover demonstrate the capabilities of these subsystems as well.

RESUMEN

A new hyperspectral Raman imaging technique is described using a spatial heterodyne Raman spectrometer (SHRS) and a microlens array (MLA). The new technique enables the simultaneous acquisition of Raman spectra over a wide spectral range at spatially isolated locations within two spatial dimensions (x, y) using a single exposure on a charge-coupled device (CCD) or other detector types such as a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detector. In the SHRS system described here, a 4 × 4 mm MLA with 1600, 100 µm diameter lenslets is used to image the sample, with each lenslet illuminating a different region of the SHRS diffraction gratings and forming independent fringe images on the CCD. The fringe images from each lenslet contain the fully encoded Raman spectrum of the region of the sample "seen" by the lenslet. Since the SHRS requires no moving parts, all fringe images can be measured simultaneously with a single detector exposure, and in principle using a single laser shot, in the case of a pulsed laser. In this proof of concept paper, hyperspectral Raman spectra of a wide variety of heterogeneous samples are used to characterize the technique in terms of spatial and spectral resolution tradeoffs. It is shown that the spatial resolution is a function of the diameter of the MLA lenslets, while the number of spatial elements that can be resolved is equal to the number of MLA lenslets that can be imaged onto the SHRS detector. The spectral resolution depends on the spatial resolution desired, and the number of grooves illuminated on both diffraction gratings by each lenslet, or combination of lenslets in cases where they are grouped.
