“…Although LIBS is more and more becoming an established technique in the archeological and cultural-heritage fields, studies that compare LIBS results with those produced by standard instruments, for example XRF, LA-TOFMS, and EDS, are still frequent [193,198]. The comparisons are generally positive for LIBS, and the studies always mention that an added benefit of LIBS is that it can be made portable.…”

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has become an established analytical atomic spectrometry technique and is valued for its very compelling set of advantageous analytical and technical characteristics. It is a rapid, versatile, non-contact technique, which is capable of providing qualitative and quantitative analytical information for practically any sample, in a virtually non-destructive way, without any substantial sample preparation. The instrumentation is simple, robust, compact, and even enables remote analysis. This review attempts to give a critical overview of the diverse progress of the field, focusing on the results of the last five years. The advancement of LIBS instrumentation and data evaluation is discussed in detail and selected results of some prominent applications are also described.

“…Although portable XRF systems are becoming more available, the above mentioned techniques cannot be applied for non-destructible samples of considerable or relatively big size, from museum collections, or for glass items that must be reintegrated into a work of art, as for instance, stained glass windows. Although LIBS has been used in several archaeometrical studies of different cultural heritage materials, [21][22][23][24][25][26] those devoted to historical glasses are scarce. These studies have focused on finding the optimal LIBS parameters for the analysis of model soda lime silicate 27 and historical lead silicate glasses, 28 on the characterization of chromophores and opacifiers of ancient glasses, and on degradation pathologies.…”

In the present study, a historical set of Late Roman glasses coming from a recently unearthed graveyard located in the small city of Cubas de la Sagra, within the Madrid region (Spain) was compositionally analysed using different techniques such as ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopies, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). LIBS results, recorded upon nanosecond (ns) and femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation, served for identification of major glass components (to classify them into main historical glass groups) and of minor components (e.g. chromophores, decolouring agents and degradation products). Quantitative information regarding these components was obtained on the basis of calibration curves obtained using glass certified standards and local standards. We have demonstrated that LIBS serves for the noninvasive/micro-destructive, quantitative chemical characterization of most of the analysed historical glasses. Furthermore, this work establishes a comparison between LIBS analysis of glasses in the ns and fs regimes on one hand, and on the other hand with the results obtained 2 using XRF. The procedures and protocols here proposed can be applied for in-situ study of historical glass collections, regardless of their size, provenance and chronology.

“…The performance of LIBS has been compared with laser ablation time-of-ight mass spectrometry (LA-TOF-MS) for the characterization of materials relevant to cultural heritage 205 demonstrating the advantages of instrumentally complementing LIBS with TOF-MS in relation to the analysis of such materials, with exciting prospects when laser ablation sampling can be carried out under an ambient atmosphere.…”
