Advances in applications of LIBS in India: A Review

In this review, a comprehensive overview of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) research work carried out by different groups in India is presented. In the last two decades, it has been extensively explored for a wide range of applications, including estimation of elemental concentration and the classification of materials. LIBS is commonly used for variety of purposes, including environmental monitoring, industrial and nuclear applications, geological and archaeological surveys, defence applications, and biological applications, etc. In these milieu, various analytical methodologies and machine learning algorithms were used for both qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing LIBS data. © Anita Publications.
