gate delay

in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
synonym: time delay in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08478
Time between the application of a laser pulse and the start of detection in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
Notes:
  1. The gate delay varies from some hundreds of nanoseconds to several microseconds.
  2. Use of a suitable gate delay allows the high intensity background continuum emission present in the early stages of plasma formation to be removed.
