Laboratory of Laser Spectroscopy offers qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis, 2D elemental imaging, and depth profiling of thin layers using LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). LIBS is a modern analytic technique, which utilizes a laser pulse for the fast determination of the elemental composition of the sample. It is an effective combination of laser ablation with atomic emission spectroscopy. Laboratory provides also reference and complementary analysis using X-ray Fluorescence, wet chemistry, and Raman Spectroscopy.
