This novel time resolved laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic technique is explained in the paper. The lifetimes of the upper level 2P2 (3P) 3p 4S3/2 corresponding to the three transitions to 2P 2 (3P) 3s 4P1/2 (742.346 nm), 2P2 (3P) 3s 4P3/2 (744.27 nm) and 2P2 (3P) 3s 4P5/2 (746.851 nm) were measured by this technique. The corresponding average lifetimes (τ) of these transitions were 199 ns, 105 ns and 68 ns. These values compare pretty well with the calculated lifetimes of 203.8 ns, 96.7 ns and 59.2 ns for the above three transitions as reported by Hibbert et al. The plasma temperature (atomic excitation temperature) decay time was found to be 1133 ns. This novel technique of estimating the lifetime of an excited state of an atom/ion is yet another very useful application of LIBS as a versatile analytical tool.
