Abstract Spectral analysis of the plasma produced by laser-induced breakdown was demonstrated to be an effective real-time technique for the detection of atomic constituents in gases and gas-entrained particulates. The time-integrated technique, LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy), was applied to the detection of sodium and potassium in a coal gasifier product stream, of airborne beryllium, and of phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine in various organic molecules. In a companion paper (following) the time-resolved technique will be discussed.
