Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to detect elements in different liquids (water and oil). Spectra of plasmas generated by focus ing the second harmonic lambda = 532 nm of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser on the liq uids' surfaces at atmospheric pressure were recorded. Calibration curves fo r chromium in water and in oil were obtained, and detection limits were ded uced.
