Abstract: In order to study the effect of sample temperature on the characteristic parameters of laser-induced copper plasma, 
Cu sample on heating stage was excited by a single pulse laser to form plasma, and the corresponding plasma 
emission spectra of brass were obtained by changing the sample temperature. The intensity change of the 
characteristic spectral line corresponding to the change of sample temperature was analyzed, and the 
evolution rule of electron temperature and electron density with time at different sample temperatures 
are obtained by using Boltzmann equation and Stark broadening under the assumption of local thermodynamic 
equilibrium (LTE). At the same time, the cause of the radiation enhancement of laser-induced metal 
plasma was also discussed. The results showed that, given the same delay time, the higher the sample 
temperature is, the stronger the spectral intensity is, and the higher the electron 
temperature and electron density are. It is indicated that the resulting spectral intensity 
can be increased by increasing the sample temperature appropriately.
