Laser Induced Breakdown Detection - LIBD

LIBD is a field proven technology issued from more than 20 years of research in KIT-INE; basically, a nanosecond pulsed laser is focused into a liquid containing nanoparticles to be detected. Each time a particle crosses the laser beam , a plasma effect is created and detected by an acoustic wave sensor.
Size distribution and concentration are then deduced from the plasma statistic by the use of an advanced proprietary algorithm and calibration data
