LIBS Elemental Analysis

Use it when elemental composition is the key decision variable and fast feedback is required.

Technology overview

How it works

A pulsed laser creates a micro-plasma; characteristic atomic and ionic emission lines are analysed for elemental identification and calibration-based quantification.

Where it adds value

Coal and mining quality control; mineral / ash-related constituents; incoming materials; process monitoring; elemental sorting and verification.

Combine it with

Pair with NIR for molecular / organic information and THz for dielectric or internal structure; AI can combine channels into a single quality decision.

Practical note

LIBS is micro-destructive at the measurement spot and is affected by matrix and surface condition; calibration should match the target material.

Engineering principle: start with the measurement question, then select the minimum sensing stack required.
