Analyzing Metals with Handheld Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)

Matt Kreiner

Year: 2014 Journal:   AM&P Technical Articles Vol: 172 (4)Pages: 24-26   Publisher: ASM International

Abstract

Abstract Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an established technology that provides nearly instantaneous and virtually nondestructive analysis with minimal or no sample preparation and without an ionizing radiation source. This article describes the capabilities of new handheld LIBS systems.
