Laser ablation and LIBS

Set the pulse–material interaction to remove, sample, or identify matter.

Laser ablation and LIBS laser application
Application focusMaterial absorption
01 / Couple

Material absorption

Wavelength and pulse width change the interaction regime.

02 / Reach

Target fluence

Energy and spot size must cross the process threshold.

03 / Control

Thermal footprint

Shorter pulses can reduce heat and collateral damage.

Why the source matters

Material response depends on pulse duration, pulse energy, peak power, spot size, repetition rate, and wavelength absorption.

The correct source is defined at the sample or process—not at the laser aperture. Wavelength and operating mode set the interaction; stability, delivery, timing, and control determine whether it stays useful in the complete system.

Application workflow

Design from the result backward.

Three decisions turn the application into a practical source specification.

01

Characterize the material

Identify composition, coating, thickness, absorption, surface condition, and acceptable damage.

02

Define the interaction

Set fluence, spot size, pulse width, energy, repetition rate, and desired plasma behavior.

03

Complete the process

Add focusing, scanning, collection timing, debris handling, enclosure, and fixturing.

Selection guide

Match the architecture to the experiment.

These are starting architectures. Precisometer qualifies the final wavelength, output, delivery, control, and integration package against your setup.

Operating mode
ns, sub-ns, ps, or fs pulsed
A

LIBS elemental analysis

A nanosecond Q-switched source offers strong plasma generation and timing control.

B

Precision ablation

Sub-ns, ps, or fs pulses reduce thermal interaction when edge quality matters.

C

UV-sensitive material

Use 355 or 266 nm to increase absorption and reduce the interaction volume.

Ready to specify

Bring us the application—not a guessed model number.

Ask for material, target spot size, fluence, pulse width, energy per pulse, repetition rate, and debris or thermal limits.
