Advances in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy analysis for geology: A critical review

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used for the detection and characterization of materials. In LIBS, a focused laser beam is used to generate a plasma plume on the surface of solid and liquid samples or inside the sample volume of gases, liquids, and aerosols. Each excited atom in the plasma emits a unique set of spectral lines, particula...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Esta revisão descreve os aspectos fundamentais, a instrumentação, as aplicações e tendências futuras de uma técnica analítica que se encontra em seu estágio de consolidação e que está em vias de estabelecer o seu nicho entre as técnicas espectrofotométricas modernas. A técnica é denominada Espectroscopia de Emissão em Plasma Induzido por Laser (em inglês, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, L...

Miniaturized Laser - induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for planetary surface analysis

Introduction: Laser-induced Breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is currently under development for future lander missions to Mars [1–10] and other planets and moons, like Venus or Europa [11, 12]. LIBS spectroscopically determines the visible atomic emission from a plasma that is generated by pulsed laser light focused on a sample surface. The intensities of the many characteristic spectral lines of ...
