Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy – Wikipedia

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy Schematic of a LIBS system – Courtesy of US Army Research Laboratory Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of atomic emission spectroscopy which uses a highly energetic laser pulse as the excitation source. [1][2] The laser is focused to form a plasma, which atomizes and excites samples.
