Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy was investigated already for a broad variety of chemical analytical purposes in the 1970s to 1990s [6.1]–[6.6]. However, a transfer to applications was often prevented because of insufficient analytical performance compared with other atomic emission spectrometric methods such as spark discharge or inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectroscopy. Thus, at that time LIBS was used in a limited number of applications only, in which the analytical requirements are low and the advantages of LIBS as a rapid, noncontact, in situ method are essential [6.7].
