| Abstract: | Abstract: A modern trend in the development of laser-based analytical instruments is to integrate more functions in a single device, which could supply complementary information and improve the capability to identify different components. This review presents historical development of the combined analysis by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman Spectroscopy, which briefly describes basic instrumental principles and technological aspects of the hyphenated technique, as well as the requirements in the design of interactive instruments, including laser systems, optical systems for laser beam delivery, emission collection devices, and spectrum measurement systems. Various configurations of the combined instrumentation have been designed and used depending on the different applications, such as pigment analysis in the cultural heritage field, detection of explosives, analysis of geological samples, and applications in future planetary missions. In addition, the feasibility, applicability, and prospective aspects of the hybrid technology are discussed in detail. |
