Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) features various assets and shortcomings worth considering in adopting it as the technique of choice for specific applications. The most salient advantages of LIBS for spectrochemical analysis are as follows ... 

Since its discovery, laser polymer processing has become an important field of applied and fundamental research. The research can be separated into two fields, the investigation of the ablation mechanism and its modeling and the application of laser ablation to produce novel materials. Laser ablation is used as an analytical tool in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) [12,13] and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) [14] or as preparative tool for pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of synthetic polymers [15,16] and of inorganic films [17,18],...

The methods most widely in use now for understanding and monitoring chemical processes that affect our environment and the atmosphere are those of TDLAS, and remote absorption/Raman spectroscopy based on lidar (absoiption-Hdar/ Raman-lidar). Application examples of these two techniques are outlined in Sections 28.1—28.3 and Sections 28.4-28.6 respectively. The chapter will conclude with the description of some less-developed techniques, which, however, provide information not easily obtained, or not accessible at all. All of them are based on ionization in one form or other, and include laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDl) and aerosol TOFMS (ATOFMS). Examples of these are provided in Section 28.7. 

The same equipment, which is used for time-resolved luminescence application is suitable for other laser-based spectroscopies. Thus several spectroscopic methods may be applied simultaneously. The mostly important technique, which may be used together with time-resolved luminescence, is laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Several books have been recently published devoted to Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) (Cremers and Radziemski 2013 Miziolek et al. 2006 Singh and Thakur 2007 Noll 2012 Hahn and Omenetto 2010 Hahn and Omenetto 2012). LIBS aspects were considered applied to the analysis of minerals, rocks and related materials (Senesi 2014). Thus only the theoretical aspects which are the mostly relevant to our research devoted to the real time online quality control of minerals will be considered.

During the last decade, processing of polymers has become an important field of applied and fundamental research [48]. One of the most important fields is laser ablation involving various techniques and applications. Laser ablation is used as an analytical tool for MALDI (matrix-assisted laser de-sorption/ionization) [28, 29] and LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) [49] or as a preparative tool for PLD (pulsed laser deposition) of inorganic materials [37] and of synthetic polymer films [50, 51]. Another application is surface modification of polymers [52] if low fluences are applied, the polymer surface can be either chemically modified to improve adhesion...
