Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is reviewed by dividing the literature into three
categories according to target phase: solid, liquid, or gas. Within each category, the literature …

It is of great importance to explore the evolution of laser-induced plasma (LIP) properties,
especially plasma temperature, with regard to variations of experiment conditions in both …

When a powerful laser pulse is focused in air, a bright, free-standing plasma is formed. By
measuring the intensities of characteristic emission lines, elemental analysis can be …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is examined as a potential method for
detecting airborne biological agents. A spectrally broadband LIBS system was used for …

The unique conditions for the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)
as a metal emissions monitoring technology have been discussed. Because of the discrete …

Tighter regulations of harmful substances such as NOx, CO, heavy metals, particles,
emissions from commercial plants and automobiles reflect a growing demand for lowering …

A statistical analysis of single-shot spectral data is reported for laser-induced breakdown
spectroscopy (LIBS). Fluctuations in both atomic emission and plasma continuum emission …

Laser-induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) has been used to detect atomic and
molecular species in various environments. LIBS has the capability to be used as a …

Optimal temporal gating for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis was
investigated for a select group of toxic metals, namely the Resource Conservation and …

The laser-induced plasma vaporization of individual silica microspheres in an aerosolized
air stream was investigated. The upper size limit for complete particle vaporization …
