“…The vaporized material was subsequently ionized between high voltage electrodes. The ionized sample emission was then spectrographically collected and measured on photographic plates as atomic line intensities [7,8]. Following the MARK I, the MARK II employed a Q-switched neodymium glass laser demonstrated by John Myers of Lear-Sigler Systems Center, (Ann Arbor, MI USA).…”

ABSTRACT SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF:LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) and Raman Spectroscopy address all five threats (CBRNE) for security and force protection applications. Military and civilian First Responders could utilize LIBS for CB, explosive hazards, suspicious powder, and hazardous spill analysis. Industrial applications include hazardous materials, quality control and process monitoring. Importantly, LIBS can identify innocuous materials on-site and in real-time saving time and money in response to hazardous material spills.

An extensive array of field tests and portable instrumentation have been developed and/or adapted for the purpose of detecting the presence of chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological, or explosive (CBNRE) threats, toxic industrial materials (TIM's), pharmaceuticals, and illegal drugs, along with the benign materials (e.g., harmless white powders) commonly encountered during First Responder operations. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a sensor technology that could allow First Responders to manage hazardous materials incidents more efficiently, effectively, and economically than previously possible using multiple pieces of equipment. The technique provides nearly instantaneous elemental analysis of solids, liquids and gases, does not require any sample preparation, and is amenable for use as a robust, man-portable device in the field in either sta...

“…Reviews on the use of lasers in analytical chemistry have been presented by Lytle, 486 Gooijer and Mank 487 and Winefordner et al 488 The last paper is directed specifically at the application of lasers in atomic spectroscopy, while the other two are of a more general nature. A review (62 refs.…”
