Abstract
Portable spectroscopic analysis assemblies are disclosed. In an example, an apparatus comprises an analysis subassembly, a probe subassembly, a tether subassembly interconnecting the analysis subassembly and the probe subassembly, and a laser source. The analysis subassembly comprises a spectroscopy subassembly. The laser source is configured to generate an excitation laser signal. The probe subassembly is configured to transmit the excitation laser signal to a sample and to receive an optical response signal from the sample, and the tether subassembly is configured to convey the optical response signal to the spectroscopy subassembly. The apparatus is operative to perform each of a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis and a Raman spectroscopy analysis of the optical response signal to at least partially characterize a composition of the sample.
