It is shown that using double laser pulses (DLP) rather than single ones to produce a plasma increases the spectral intensity of the plasma formed. This increase can be used to improve the efficiency of laser spectral analysis. The authors investigated spectra of a plasma produced by DLP using a device that makes it possible to obtain two laser pulses that are time-shifted relative to each other (the accuracy of the shift is {+-}0.1 {mu}sec). The energies of both pulses were the same and amounted to about 0.05 J, the pulse duration was 10 nsec, and the power density of the laser radiation affecting the specimen was 10{sup 10} W/cm{sup 2}. The DLP repetition frequency was 12.5 Hz. Mainly aluminum and its alloys served as the investigated specimens; in addition, copper and other metals were used.
