Abstract

LAMPS, Laser Assisted Microwave Spectroscopy, is a plasma spectroscopictechnique that has higher sensitivity to LIBS using little or no laser energy. The higher sensitivity is due to microwave energy extending the duration of themicro plasma for analyzing material. The sensitivity is enhanced a factor of 10 atwavelengths < 300 nm and 40-200 for wavelengths > 300 nm. The lower laserenergy results in no surface damage. The technique can be used to determine thecomposition of materials and detect biological and explosive agents. Recently, thedevice has been miniaturize to develop a portable hand held instrument.
