ABSTRACT

This review describes, in detail, the most recent developments in instrumentation for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The paper focuses on various laser systems, including excimer, CO2, and Nd: YAG and their performance in LIBS. The coupling of fiber-optics to LIBS and development of portable LIBS systems and their performance is presented. New approaches such as dual pulse operation, multi-fiber, resonant ablation, and combination with laser induced fluorescence are further described. Finally the use of the Echelle spectrometer in which it has been combined with various charge coupled devices.
