Basic Principles of Laser Induced Breakdown (LIBS) Spectroscopy

The analytical use of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has its origins back to 1963 with the study of Mrs. Debras and Guedon. Since then, the technology associated with LIBS has evolved (lasers, spectrometers, detectors, data analysis). However despite considerable advantages that only laser-induced plasmas can provide, the delicacy to control and model their basic fundamentals leads to a slower integration of LIBS in the analytical field than other established plasma based techniques such as GD- or ICP-OES.

A review of the basic principles of LIBS is given and discussed to better understand the technique, the reasons of its slower integration but nevertheless appreciate and explore the unique possibilities that only LIBS can provide to the analytical community.
