Abstract

The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a sensitive tool for a rapid identification of the elemental composition of a sample regardless of the aggregate states and with a little sample preparation. The time-resolved LIBS system implemented in our laboratory is based on a Nd:YAG laser and an optical parametric oscillator (Vibrant 266). The detection part of our system is based on a Hamamatsu streak camera (C4334-01). Using advanced image processing techniques, we show how capabilities of basic software provided by Hamamatsu could be improved.
