Plasmas generated during incipient laser ablation of lead in air were studied using emission spectroscopy and fast photography by an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) camera. An improved plasma emission model was introduced, invoking one-dimensional radiative transfer, to describe the observed emission spectra, while taking into account Gaussian intensity distribution of the laser used to form plasma. The effects of different parameters to the fitting results are discussed. The plasma temperature got by Saha-Boltzmann plot method and the electron number density got by line broadening method were compared with the fitting results. We also found that the distribution of plasma temperature is more uniform than that of the electron number density in the radial direction.
