Spark ablation is an established technique for generating aerosol nanoparticles. Recent demonstrations of compositional tuning of bimetallic aerosols have led to a demand for on-line stoichiometry measurements. In this work, we present a simple, non-intrusive method to determine the composition of a binary AuAg nanoparticle aerosol on-line using the optical emission from the electrical discharges.
