Which risk increases when a pulsed laser's coherence length exceeds sample thickness during LIBS?

A)Increased spectral line broadening
B)Reduced plasma thermal equilibrium
C)Enhanced matrix effects observed
D)Greater non-linear absorption variance

💡 Explanation

Enhanced matrix effects develop because increased coherence length during laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy causes amplified interference, therefore altering ablation characteristics in varying elemental neighborhood configurations during analysis. Results are more sensitive to matrix composition rather than pure elemental emission.
