Laser induced plasma spectroscopy (LIPS)
is a technique for measuring the composition of various materials. A high powered
laser pulse is fired at the surface of the material under investigation. This
causes a tiny quantity of the surface to be vapourised and heated to a very
high temperature. The radiation from the plasma is analysed
spectrographically and the composition determined from the characteristic
radiation frequencies of the material components.
