Abstract
A combined laser induced breakdown (LIBS) and Raman, spatial heterodyne spectrometer (SHLS/SHRS) is described for remote measurements using Fresnel collection optics. The spatial heterodyne LIBS and Raman spectrometer (SHLS and SHRS) is based on a fixed diffraction grating interferometer with no moving parts that offers a very large field of view, high light throughput, and high spectral resolution in a small package. The field of view of the SHS spectrometer is ~1° making it very forgiving of collection optics alignment and image quality for remote LIBS and Raman measurements. In the SHLS/SHRS system described here, a ~100-mm diameter, f/1.25 Fresnel lens used for light collection is compared to a high quality ~100-mm aperture Questar long distance microscope. LIBS and Raman measurements were made at 10â¯m for a variety of organic and mineral samples including materials from deep ocean hydrothermal vents.
