LIPS

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid analytical technique that can be used to determine the elemental composition of materials. It works by focusing a high-powered laser pulse onto the surface of a sample, thereby creating a microplasma by ablating a tiny amount of material. As the plasma cools, it emits light, the wavelength of which is analysed spectroscopically in order to identify the specific wavelengths corresponding to the different elements present in the sample. LIBS has been demonstrated to be capable of detecting a wide range of elements, including light elements such as hydrogen, lithium, and beryllium, which are often challenging to measure using alternative techniques. This method does not require the preliminary preparation of a sample, and it is capable of analysing various materials, including metals, ceramics, and glasses.
