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-LIBS400 Split-Type LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) System is a versatile and sophisticated assembly tailored for scientific research, optical application experiments, and optical application centers. This system's design is particularly flexible due to its split-type configuration, allowing users to conveniently choose and configure various lasers and spectrometers to suit specific needs.
LIBS Application’s Principle
Main Application
● Coal Quality Analysis and Combustion Products Analysis
● Online Component Analysis in Metallurgical Industry
● Mineral Exploration: Online Ore Quality Analysis
● Soil Heavy Metal Analysis, Biomaterials, Aerosols, Nanoparticles
● Nuclear Materials, Waste, Petroleum Products
● Building Materials, Archaeology, Casting, Gold and Jewelry Testing
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%
