Method: Remote to Close Range Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
Alternative labels
LIBS
Description
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a micro-destructive technique that gives elemental analysis of materials through analysing the plume created by ablation of the material by a high intensity laser beam focused to a spot <1mm. LIBS is sensitive to nearly all elements. Remote LIBS allows the analysis of monuments and objects from distances up to tens of metres. It is especially suited to applications on architectural and archaeological sites.
