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.
