Abstract

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been developed since the invention of the laser in 1960. The push from analytical companies from the beginning started a huge scientific adventure combining analytical science, plasma physics engineering and commercialization that still is in place fifty years later. This historical review of the first five years of laser‐based micro‐spectrochemical analysis introduces the first measurements and systems for laser micro-analysis and its evolution to conventional LIBS.
