This book thoroughly covers the basics, process parameters, instruments, and applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). It explores the interaction between focused laser radiation and the measuring object, detailing the impact of multiple pulses on material ablation, plasma dynamics, and emission. These insights lay the groundwork for a quantitative analysis of multi-element composition in solids, liquids, and gases. This updated and expanded second edition introduces exciting advances and novel insights into the field. In particular, it looks at many new LIBS applications encompassing bulk analysis of various materials, spatially resolved elemental imaging, and chemical identification of moving materials. The book also covers remote measurements across all physical states. It provides a detailed overview of LIBS instruments, including laboratory systems, industrial setups for inline process control as well as mobile measurement systems and systems for measurement over larger distances. The text delves into industrial applications of LIBS systems, showcasing their effectiveness in inline process control for improved process management and quality assurance. Practical examples and case studies demonstrate how LIBS contributes to this in industrial settings. Tailored for scientists, engineers, and students, the second edition maintains its commitment to delivering a solid introduction to the physics of LIBS. Simultaneously, it caters to the curiosity of those interested in the ongoing evolution of LIBS in industrial applications, blending foundational knowledge with the latest advancements in this dynamic field.
The second edition of this standard work on LIBS contains 524 figures, 110 tables and cites 1085 references.

Prof. Dr. Reinhard Noll earned his diploma and doctoral degree in physics from Technische Hochschule Darmstadt (now called Technical University Darmstadt) in 1980 and 1984, respectively. A pioneer in laser technology, he was a member of the founding team of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Lasertechnik (ILT) in 1985. Serving as the head of the laser measurement technology department and later as the competence area manager for measurement technology and EUV sources, as well as member of the management board, he played a pivotal role at Fraunhofer ILT.
In 2012, Prof. Noll achieved habilitation at RWTH Aachen University, specializing in Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy. Recognized for his expertise, he received the Venia Legendi for "laser measurement technology for inline process diagnostics" and became an associate professor at RWTH Aachen University in 2017. In 2021, he was honored with the International LIBS Summit Award for "LIBS quantification."
Currently, as Head of Research and Development at Laser Analytical Systems & Automation GmbH since 2022, Prof. Noll continues to contribute significantly to the field. With 196 scientific publications, 5 books, and 40 patents/patent applications, he has made enduring contributions. Beyond his academic pursuits, Prof. Noll co-founded two companies in laser measurement technology, serves on the scientific committees of European and international LIBS conferences and is a reviewer for scientific journals in the field of laser measurement technology and laser spectroscopy as well as for R&D projects of the European Union. He is a member of the German Physical Society.
