Abstract
A method for compositional analysis includes providing a sample having a surface, moving an ablation point to a plurality of positions on the surface along a fractal path, pulsing an energy source to provide an electromagnetic energy beam to ablate material at the ablation point, collecting an emission spectrum in response to pulsing the energy source, and analyzing the emission spectrum to determine a composition at the surface.
