• Real-time measurements: online monitoring and quality control of industrial
processes
• Noninvasive, nondestructive technique: valuable samples can be reused,
sensitive materials can be analyzed, suitable for in-situ biological analysis
• Remote measurements can be done from up to 50+ meters distance:
can be used in hazardous environments and for space exploration missions on other
planets
• Underwater analysis of chemical composition
• Compact and inexpensive equipment:
can be widely used in industrial environments, perfect for field measurements
• High-spatial resolution: can obtain 2D chemical profiles
of virtually any solid material with 1 µm precision or better

• Non or very little sample preparation is required:
reduced measurement time, greater convenience, less opportunity for sample
contamination
• Samples can be in virtually any form: gas, liquid, solids, aerosols
• Analysis can be performed with a very small amount of sample (nanograms):
very useful in chemistry for characterization of new chemicals and
in material science for characterization of new composite materials or
nanostructures
• Virtually any chemical element can be analyzed,
such as heavier elements unavailable for X-ray fluorescence
• Analysis can be done on extremely hard materials like ceramics and
superconductors;
these materials are difficult to dissolve or sample to perform other types of
analysis
• In aerosols both particle size and chemical composition can be analyzed
simultaneously

• Better understanding of laser-matter interaction
• Improved ablation efficiency
• Background free spectra
• Free of plasma shielding effects
• Less fractionation effects
• Better lateral resolution (less heat affected zone)
• Limited depth resolution
as with ns pulses (conical craters)
• Longer distances in standoff analysis

Dual Pulse LIBS
DP LIBS results in increased-
• Plasma temperature
• Ion yield
• Plasma volume
• Ablated mass rate (in collinear mode)
• Line intensity
(larger enhancement for ionic than for atomic lines)
• Detection power
• Molten phase lasts longer
• Reduced plasma shielding

• Identify a wide variety of metal alloys at the
press of the trigger
• Measure elements, light and heavy in short
time
• Test large or small samples such as shavings,
turnings, granules, cables, etc.
• No x-rays and free from the regulatory
constraints usually associated with x-ray
analysers
• Simple point-and-shoot operation
Commercial hand-held LIBS analyzers
