background continuum emission

in LIBS
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08458
Intense continuous background usually observed in laser-induced breakdown spectra.
Note:
The continuum emission originates from Bremsstrahlung radiation, which predominates the first part of the plasma life time and decreases with further plasma evolution.
