An improved theory for laser enhanced ionization in flames has been developed for one- and two-step laser excitations. The model gives an analytical expression for the sensitivity of the method for a given transition of any element. The theoretical expression is compared with experimentally measured signals for a number of elements and the agreement is found to be generally good.
