Analysis of Trace Elements in Leaves Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

摘要

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new way to analyze the plant ecology. The experimental used a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to be the laser source and equipped with an eight-channel model spectrometer which's wavelength range between 200 and 1100 nm. Studying the spectrum of the air-drying leaves and the nature leaves and detected the elements which contain Fe, Ca, Na, Mg, K, Cu, Al and Mn. Displaying the list which shows the all spectrum and elements. Refer to Fe as the benchmark, obtain the relative content of trace elements. At the same time, this technology can be employed for food safety and environment pollution evaluation. It will be the based for studying the portable LIBS instrument of detecting the pollution of heavy metal.
