Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)

The Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis method using a short laser pulse to create a micro-plasma on the sample surface for a wide range of sample matrices include metals, semiconductors, soils, plastics, biological compounds etc. The analytical method offers mainly compelling advantages (Online, Onsite, Insitu) compared to other elemental analysis methods like arc-/spark-optical emission spectroscopy (OES) or X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) with the right optical components. As a technology leader in innovative photonics solutions, HAMAMATSU Photonics is intrinsically motivated to develop suitable optical components perfectly adjusted or with potential for customizations in the application field of LIBS.
