Visible light emission from metal–water interfaces at laser-induced breakdown (LIB) has been observed for aluminium, titanium and platinum. The spectra are found to consist of broadband continuum without any discrete atomic lines, which may be useful as a pulsed light source for spectroscopy. A simple thermal diffusion model combined with blackbody radiation is described, the numerical result of which agrees fairly well with the observed spectra.
