Impurities in the wall material of upcoming fusion reactors can endanger the lifetime and quality of the confined plasma. To get an idea of deuterium or tritium retention at the wall the diagnostic Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with possible in-situ application is used. This widely applied technique is executed by lasers with different pulse durations. In our institute we are operating a sub 10 fs Ti:Sa-laser that big advantage is the well-defined ablation area which leads to a high depth resolution. The results from LIBS experiments on tantalum exposed by deuterium in the linear plasma device PSI-2 with our laser system can be compared to ns- and ps-LIBS signals, which are shown here. An important aim of these studies is to reach a deeper understanding of the basic processes governing ablation, plasma formation and spectral emission in the different pulse duration regimes for finally deciding which type of laser pulses is the most promising for future fusion reactor wall analysis.
