Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is an analytical technique that uses a highly energetic laser pulse to ablate a small amount of material from a sample. This process forms a microplasma, which emits light as it cools. The emitted light is analyzed to determine the elemental composition of the sample. LIBS is advantageous due to its ability to perform rapid, real-time analysis without the need for extensive sample preparation.
