The data correspond to the results of modelling studies of DC electric arcs at a current of 2 A in air with admixture of copper metal vapour. Experimental findings are used to adjust input parametrs of the model in order to achieve a good match. The simulations are performed strating with a discharge burning with a minimum gap length of 30 µm for a physical time of 11 ms. Then, the separation of the electrodes is followed for further 51 ms and the discharge gap is increased up to 3 mm. The comparision of experimental and modelling data is based on the measured arc voltage.

Double-pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) measurements in water with up to 600 bar hydrostatic pressure and 150 mJ energy of each pulse were done to select a setup which promote separated spectral lines in the observed plasma emission even at elevated pressures, where line broadening until loss of the most spectral information can occur. For this a compact spectrometer und a Czerny-Turner spectrometer, both fiber-based, has been applied to investigate the dependence of the emitted radiation on different parameters and hydrostatic pressure.

Double-pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) measurements in water with up to 600 bar and 400 mJ each pulse were done to select laser parameters which promote optimized spectral line emission from plasma even at elevated pressures, where line broadening until loss of the most spectral information can occur. Optical emission spectroscopy, using a Czerny-Turner spectrometer, has been applied to investigate the dependence of the emitted radiation on laser parameters and hydrostatic pressure.
