Research Progress of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy in Underwater  in situ Detection

Abstract

Abstract: Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) has been widely used in different fields as an effective
analysis technique. Its application in underwater research is a new hot spot recently and a lot of
works have been reported continuously. An overview of the recent research
progress for LIBS in underwater detection is given in this work, including the simulation experiments in laboratory,
the field experiments in sea trial, the fundamental research, and the technique development.
As an example, the deep sea in situ LIBS system (LIBSea) is shown in detail,
giving the typical results in ocean detection. Finally, the application of LIBS in ocean
detection in the near future is prospected.

Key words: laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, underwater detection, in-situ detection, LIBSea
