LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) was developed in 1963 by a team from the French Ceramics Society , and was the first application of lasers, which were introduced in 1960. It remained a relatively unexplored field of research, however, until lasers gained sufficient performance to meet the demands of spectrochemical analysis. It was in the 1980s that LIBS experienced a revival of interest,...
