Quantitative determination of carbon isotopes using Laser Ablation Molecular Isotopic Spectrometry (LAMIS) is described. Optical emission of diatomic molecules CN and C₂ is used in these measurements. Two quantification approaches are presented:empirical calibration of spectra using a set of reference standards and numerical fitting of a simulated spectrum to the experimental one. Formation mechanisms of C₂ and CN in laser ablation plasma are briefly reviewed to provide insights for implementation of LAMIS measurements. A simulated spectrum of the ¹²C₂ Swan system was synthesized using four constituents within 473.5–476.5 nm. Simulation included three branches of ¹²C₂ (1-0), branches R(0-0) and R(1-1), and branch P(9-8) of ¹²C₂. Spectral positions of the tail lines in R(0-0) and R(1-1) were experimentally measured, since they were not accurately known before. The Swan band (1-0) of the isotopologue ¹³C¹²C was also simulated. Fitting to the experimental spectrumyielded the ratio ¹³C/¹²C = 1.08% in a good agreement with measurements by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. LAMIS promises to be useful in coal, oil and shale exploration, carbon sequestration monitoring, and agronomy studies.
