Experimental investigation on concurrent laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy

A critical review of recent progress in analytical laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

“…It not only provides historical and artistic information, but also helps with conservation and restoration of artworks, as has been revealed multiple times for different sample types [81,82]. Popular stand-off contemporary applications for microRaman-LIBS include the detection of explosives and suspect materials [83,84] as part of anti-terrorist activities, and the analysis of geological samples [85,86], which is of primary interest to planetary investigations [87]. In fact, this hyphenated instrument is one of the most important instruments now in use or planned for use in several space missions (ExoMars, Moon4you, etc.…”

Dual-Spectroscopy Platform for the Surveillance of Mars Mineralogy Using a Decisions Fusion Architecture on Simultaneous LIBS-Raman Data

“…In an effort to overcome the limitations of single-spectroscopy uses for mineral identification and to exploit the synergistic effect of complementary atomic and molecular information, several configurations of LIBS-Raman analytical techniques have been efficiently integrated into single instruments proposed for mineralogical and geochemical analyses already. ,,,,, Nevertheless, the format of the output data in the simultaneous acquisition of combined signals is a key factor for their further utilization. The simple use of a single detection system leads to the gathering of atomic emission and molecular scattering in a single spectrum.…”

“…Much has been said so far about the gains resulting from the combined use of atomic and molecular information from the point of view of overcoming the constraints of LIBS and Raman operating alone. Although several attempts have been made, − to date, there has not been any published research on the gathering of remote, instant, and simultaneous emission and scattering from single spots on the target as perfectly isolated signals to enhance the geochemical categorization scheme of rock constituents on the basis of cation–anion pairs in a hostile extraterrestrial environment. The effects of the critical parameters involved on the simultaneous spectral data acquisition, the possible conflicting issues affecting the performance of both measurement modes, as well as how such information can be associated and exploited to deal with the goal pursued will be detailed.…”

Applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy in cultural heritage and archaeology: a critical review

“…In the years, several approaches have been suggested to combine Raman and LIBS techniques in a single instrument: two laser sources (CW laser for Raman, pulsed laser for LIBS) [83,[154][155][156], the same laser system adjusting the energy of the laser pulse (low energy for Raman, high energy for LIBS) [157][158][159][160][161];…”
