The presented review summarizes nearly two decades of studies on femtosecond laser-
induced breakdown spectrometry (fs-LIBS). When an ultra-short (< 1 ps) laser pulse is used …

Femtosecond laser filamentation is a unique nonlinear optical phenomenon when high-
power ultrafast laser propagation in all transparent optical media. During filamentation in the …

One of the most widely cited advantages of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is
that it does not require sample preparation, but this may also be the biggest factor holding it …

Abstract Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is in a stage of great vitality as an
analytical technique. In the past few years, significant advances have been made in the area …

During the past decade there has been intense activity in the field of laser-induced
breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). This activity includes studies of laser ablation and …

The recent progress made in develo** laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has
transformed LIBS from an elemental analysis technique to one that can be applied for the …

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a sensitive optical technique capable of
fast multi-elemental analysis of solid, gaseous and liquid samples. Since the late 1980s …

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been evaluated for the determination of
micronutrients (B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) in pellets of plant materials, using NIST, BCR and …

Femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) has been used for the first
time for quantitative determination of nutrients in plant materials from different crops. A highly …
