Focus on spectral sensing and optoelectronic application systems
LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) is a sophisticated analytical technique that involves the use of ultra-short pulse lasers to focus on the surface of a sample, creating plasma. This plasma, a highly energized form of matter, emits light that is characteristic of the elements present in the sample. By analyzing this emitted light spectrum with a spectrometer, LIBS systems can identify the elemental composition of the sample. This process allows for the identification, classification, qualitative, and quantitative analysis of materials.

The iSpec-LIBS800 system is a comprehensive, integrated solution for performing Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, a technique used for elemental analysis of materials. This technique involves focusing ultra-short pulse lasers onto a sample surface to form plasma, and then analyzing the emitted light spectrum to identify the elemental composition of the sample. This system is ideal for material identification, classification, qualitative, and quantitative analysis.

The detection limits of LIBS largely depend on the type of sample being analyzed, the specific elements being measured, and the configuration of the laser/spectrometer in the instrument. Typically, LIBS can achieve detection limits ranging from a few parts per million (ppm) to percentage levels. For most elements in common applications, the detection limit can be between 10 ppm to 100 ppm. In quantitative analysis, the relative standard deviation of measurements obtained through LIBS can be within 3-5% for most materials, and even less than 1% for homogeneous materials.
Typical Detection Limits with LIBS
● Elements like Li, Be, B, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca: >10 ppm (0.001%)
● Elements like Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo: >100 ppm (0.01%)
● Elements like C, N, O, P, Si: >200 ppm (0.02%)
● Elements like F, Cl, Br, S: >0.5%
