Overview of applications of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)

David A. Cremers-1987-01-01-University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas)

TL;DRAbstract

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a method of performing elemental analyses of solids, liquids, and gases using the microplasma produced by a focused laser pulse. Because the microplasma is formed by optical radiation, LIBS has some important advantages compared to conventional laboratory based analytical methods. Three applications are discussed which use the LIBS method. 6 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
