Laser Ablation of Surfaces and Samples
Texture surfaces with our USP lasers or use our nanosecond or ultrafast lasers for analytical methods, e.g., LIBS, LA-ICP-MS.
- LIBS Use our nanosecond Flare laser to get better data with high signal to noise.
- LA-ICP-MS Analyze solid samples for elemental and isotopic composition with an excimer or a fs laser amplifier.
- Femtosecond Ablation Create the ultimate surface patterning including laser-induced periodic structures (LIPS).
Patterning Surfaces
Surfaces of tough and delicate materials can all be patterned (e.g., LIPS) with an ultrafast beam or a UV excimer laser without thermal damage.
LA-ICP-MS
Improve your elemental/isotopic analysis. 193 nm excimer lasers deliver smaller particle sizes, higher signal intensities, and the lowest intrinsic fractionation.
LIBS
Laser ablation of solid samples is key to laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) whether that’s in the lab or on the surface of Mars. Learn more on our Spectroscopy page.
Resource List
Amplifier thermal stability is critical. Our chamber runs at up to 950°C internally and heats the lab significantly during long experiments. The power, beam shape, and pointing of Astrella are all unaffected by these ambient changes.
