Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is a form of optical emission, atomic spectroscopy that uses a laser to excite a substance to the point where it emits characteristic wavelengths that can then be used to identify the elements in a sample. It is highly flexible and reliable, and can now be done with small portable equipment for use on site rather than in a lab. This book will explain the basic principles of this technology, and its uses and advantages over other types of spectroscopic analysis--including its ability to be used for quantitative analysis in understanding the relative abundance of elements in a sample.
