abstract = {Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is one of the
most promising methods for quantitative in-situ
determination of fuel retention in plasma-facing components
(PFCs) of magnetically confined fusion devices like ITER and
JET. In this article, the current state of understanding in
LIBS development for fusion applications will be presented,
based on a complete review of existing results and
complemented with newly obtained data. The work has been
performed as part of a research programme, set up in the
EUROfusion Consortium, to address the main requirements for
ITER: (a) quantification of fuel from relevant surfaces with
high sensitivity, (b) the technical demonstration to perform
LIBS with a remote handling system and (c) accurate
detection of fuel at ambient pressures relevant for ITER.
For the first goal, the elemental composition of ITER-like
deposits and proxies to them, including deuterium (D) or
helium (He) containing W–Be, W, W–Al and Be–O–C
coatings, was successfully determined with a typical depth
resolution ranging from 50 up to 250 nm per laser pulse.
Deuterium was used as a substitute for tritium (T) and in
the LIBS experiments deuterium surface densities below 1016
D/cm2 could be measured with an accuracy of $∼30\%,$
confirming the required high sensitivity for fuel-retention
investigations. The performance of different LIBS
configurations was explored, comprising LIBS systems based
on single pulse (pulse durations: ps–ns) and double pulse
lasers with different pulse durations. For the second goal,
a remote handling application was demonstrated inside the
Frascati-Tokamak-Upgrade (FTU), where a compact, remotely
controlled LIBS system was mounted on a multipurpose
deployer providing an in-vessel retention monitor system.
During a shutdown phase, LIBS was performed at atmospheric
pressure, for measuring the composition and fuel content of
different area of the stainless-steel FTU first wall, and
the titanium zirconium molybdenum alloy tiles of the
toroidal limiter. These achievements underline the
capability of a LIBS-based retention monitor, which complies
with the requirements for JET and ITER operating in DT with
a beryllium wall and a tungsten divertor. Concerning the
capabilities of LIBS at pressure conditions relevant for
ITER, quantitative determination of the composition of PFC
materials at ambient pressures up to 100 mbar of N2, the D
content could be determined with an accuracy of $25\%,$
while for atmospheric pressure conditions, an accuracy of
about $50\%$ was found when using single-pulse lasers. To
improve the LIBS performance in atmospheric pressure
conditions, a novel approach is proposed for quantitative
determination of the retained T and the D/T ratio. This
scenario is based on measuring the LIBS plume emission at
two different time delays after each laser pulse. On virtue
of application of a double pulse LIBS system, for LIBS
application at N2 atmospheric pressure the
distinguishability of the spectra from H isotopes could be
significantly improved, but further systematic research is
required.},
