Time-resolved emission experiments are reported in the fast-decaying transient plasma induced by a microchip laser on an aluminum target in three different cover gases, i.e., air, argon and helium. The laser operates at 532nm, with a repetition frequency of 1kHz and a pulse width of less than 0.5ns. The overall persistence of plasma emission is of the order of 100ns.We examine the existence of local...
