Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy in the Physical Sciences
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy employs a laser to ablate the surface of a sample which creates a small plume of plasma. Using a form of atomic emission spectroscopy, the light of this plasma is captured and analyzed for quantitative and qualitative atomic properties. As the popularity of this method of analysis grows and researchers find new uses for LIBS, Avantes is leading the way.
