in this study, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (libs) is used for qualitative analysis of healthy and carious teeth. the technique of laser ablation is receiving increasing attention for applications in dentistry, specifically for the treatment of teeth such as drilling of micro-holes and plaque removal. in the process of ablation a luminous micro-plasma is normally generated which may be ...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used for the detection and characterization of materials. In LIBS, a focused laser beam is used to generate a plasma plume on the surface of solid and liquid samples or inside the sample volume of gases, liquids, and aerosols. Each excited atom in the plasma emits a unique set of spectral lines, particula...

A review of recent results of the studies of double laser pulse plasma and ablation for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy applications is presented. The double pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy configuration was suggested with the aim of overcoming the sensitivity shortcomings of the conventional single pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy technique. Several configurations hav...

Simultaneous laser induced- breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and acoustic response techniques as well as Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) are applied to investigate the abnormal lymph tissues due to Hodgkin disease. The spectral shift in the emissive fluorescence of the cancerous tissues has been observed respect to the normal ones. Regarding LIBS, the concentrations of Ca and Na trace elements ha...
