Combination of LIBS and LIF

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Abstract

An approach to further increase the sensitivity of LIBS for the determination of traces is the combination of LIBS and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF, also called laser-excited atomic fluorescence spectrometry, LEAFS) [12.1]. Limit of detections for, e.g., heavy metals in soil according to regulatory demands are required to be significantly below 1 μg∕g, which is still difficult to achieve with LIBS only.
