Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Systems (LIBS)

These systems comprise element analysis equipment that employs LIBS. LIBS is a technique used to analyze elemental components and their concentrations in samples in real time by measuring the luminescence of plasma created by laser irradiation of the sample.

Principle of LIBS

This equipment measures luminescent fluorescence, identifying elements from the wavelengths emitted and measuring concentrations from fluorescent intensity.

Features of our LIBS systems

No pretreatment necessary

Real-time measurement is feasible without pretreatment.
Depending on the state or composition of the sample to be analyzed, a simple pretreatment may be required

Light atomic element analysis

Both metal elements and light atomic elements such as H, Li, B, C and O can be measured.

Microscopic area analysis

Microscopic areas can be measured by combining optical systems.

Distribution measurement

Spot measurement facilitates measurement of the distribution of elements

Facilitates measurement of all sample states

Gas, liquid and solid substances can be measured directly
Thin films and surface adherents can be measured directly

Remote analysis

Optical fiber transmission facilitates remote analysis

Applications

Measurement of carbon concentrations in steel
Measurement of oxygen, hydrogen and lithium on metal surfaces
Measurement of alkali elements in crystals
Measurement of sodium and calcium in solutions
