Abstract:
A method is described for providing a continuous flow of a target material past a laser to enable repeated firings of the laser beam at the material in a controlled and uniform fashion. The objective is to provide a means to characterize the target material using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. The method can be employed in a laboratory or field environment providing improved methods for characterizing in real time the properties of bulk materials.
