Applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for geochemical and environmental analysis: A comprehensive review
TL;DR: The application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to the analysis of natural fluids, minerals, rocks, soils, sediments, and other natural materials is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Applications of Laser‐Induced Breakdown Spectrometry: A Review of Material Approaches
TL;DR: The use of laser-induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) has grown steadily, and it has proven to be a relatively dynamic research activity for performing direct spectrochemical elemental or metal analysis of a variety of materials, solids, liquids, and gases, with none or little sample pretreatment procedures as mentioned in this paper.

On-line analysis of ambient air aerosols using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LBS) for the detection of aerosols in ambient air, including quantitative mass concentration measurements and size/composition measurements of individual aerosol particles.

TL;DR: Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a simple spark spectrochemical sensor technology in which a laser beam is directed at a sample surface to create a high-temperature microplasma and a detector used to collect the spectrum of light emission and record its intensity at specific wavelengths as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of hydrocarbons using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for direct measurement of atomic species over a wide range of mixture fractions of C3H8, CH4, and CO2 in air.

Applications of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometry
TL;DR: In this article, a high-powered laser beam is focused onto a small area or spot of a solid surface, the temperature of the locally heated region rises rapidly to the vaporization temperature of solid material and an optically induced plasma, frequently called a laser-induced plasma (LIP) or laser-ablated plasma or laser spark is formed at the surface.

Review of Selected Analytical Applications of Laser Plasmas and Laser Ablation, 1987-1994
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of laser-induced plasmas with per pulse energies less than 1 J, typically 10-100 mJ, is presented, focusing on the application of gas ignition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete particle detection and metal emissions monitoring using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the utilization of LIBS is considered in part as a statistical sampling problem involving the finite laser-induced plasma volume, as well as the concentration and size distribution of the target metal species.

Laser-induced breakdown spectrometry as a multimetal continuous-emission monitor.
TL;DR: A mobile LIBS system was calibrated in the laboratory and tested as a multimetal continuous-emission monitor during a joint U.S. Department of Energy-Environmental Protection Agency test and successfully measured concentrations of Cr, Pb, Cd, and Be in near real time.
