Abstract

Quantitative analysis with LIBS is defined here as the determination of concentrations of chemical elements in a specimen. A more generic definition includes as well the application case of material identification where a decision is taken in terms of an allocation of a specimen to a material class by evaluating whether a set of determined concentrations falls into or is close to a set of predefined concentration intervals or is smaller or greater than predefined concentration thresholds or not.
