Concept and design of a compact laser system for remote measurements by the method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Abstract

A compact laser system based on a Nd: YAG laser with a wavefront self-reversal for remote analysis of substances by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy at a distance of at least 10 m is proposed. The possibility of creating a reliable system for remote diagnostics of materials by laser-spark emission spectroscopy, including in real time, is shown.
