Recent development and application of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a spectroscopy detection technology. As sample is ablated by high- energy pulse laser, trace amounts of sample material gasify to form high temperature and density plasma. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical elements in the sample can be achieved through measuring wavelengths and spectral line intensity of plasma atomic emission spectrum. As a new spectroscopy detect technology in the field of analytical science, LIBS has developed rapidly in recent years, and new research results constantly emerging, the application scope expanding gradually. It shows more and more potential and vitality in terms of analysis of material composition elements.
