Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a fast chemical analysis technology that uses a short laser pulse (nanoseconds) to create a micro-plasma on the sample surface. This analytical technique offers many compelling advantages compared to other regular analysis techniques. This technique does not require sample preparation for measurement experience. LIBS is applicable to a wide range of sample that include metals, semiconductors, glasses, biological tissues, insulators, plastics, soils, plants, soils, thin-paint coating, and electronic materials (gas, liquid or solid state).
For this purpose, you may need:
- High energy (mJ) nanosecond pulsed lasers (Quantel): Laser power requirements will vary by sample type, as laser ablation and plasma formation are very specific to the sample. We can offer:
Compact flash-pumped and diode-pumped solid state (SSL) ns lasers from Quantel: Viron, Centurion +, CFR, Q-Smart, Ultra, Merion C, Merion MW
ns double pulse SSL laser to enhance LIBS signal, from Quantel: Evergreen, Everbright, Q-smart-Twins
ns ultra-compact DPSS laser for portable LIBS, from Quantel: Falcon
ns tunable laser systems from Quantel: Q-scan, Rainbow
- High resolution compact Spectrometers (Stellarnet): a large variety of high resolution compact spectrometer models covering the spectral range 200 - 1000 nm, with lot of accessories
- Pre-configured portable LIBS System StellarCASE-LIBS (Stellarnet)
