rather than just hardware
LIBS Engine
The SPECTRAL LIBS engine is a highly flexible and versatile LIBS system for the R&D engineer user, that requires maximum functionality for a low price. The engine can be positioned in every desired orientation with respect to the sample. This allows users to measure on solid samples and powders, but also on flowing gases or streams of fluids.
SPECTRAL’s software enables users to set all required measurement parameters and perform measurements. The recorded LIBS spectra can be processed in any type of analysis software and simple analysis steps can already be performed in our software.
The SPECTRAL LIBS engine is composed of these components:
- IRIS DUV spectrometer unit, including optical fiber
- Nanosecond pulse laser (20 Hz, 120 mJ).
- Optical Head (laser focusing & signal collection opto-mechanical unit).
- Pulse Delay Generator (PDG) for gated LIBS measurements.
- PC incl. MS Windows 10 and SPECTRAL software pre-installed.
- LIBS Software for operating all hardware components enabling LIBS measurements.
- OPTION: XYZ motorized translation stage for sample movement.
Please contact us to find out how we can configure the ideal LIBS engine for you, since items can be left out or replaced by other items upon request.

IRIS Spectrometer
For users that only require a spectrometer the SPECTRAL Industries IRIS echelle spectrometer is available as a separate item. Inspired by R&D for the ExoMars mission to Mars, we developed a very efficient and robust spectrometer for application on Earth. Our unique technology offers space technology quality hardware, that can be used under a wide range of conditions. Ideal for LIBS research and applications, but also for fluorescence or Raman spectroscopy.
If you need reliable characterization in a flexible, robust package, this is your spectrometer! It features proven better signal-to-noise-ratio than leading competitors and is ready for any environment from the field to the factory.
The SPECTRAL Industries IRIS spectrometer has the following advantages:
- Echelle type spectrometer: unique combination of high bandwidth and high resolution in one instrument.
- High throughput / efficiency compared to other echelle spectrometers: lower detection limits or shorter integration time.
- All components selected and designed to work together harmoniously, while maintaining flexibility for OEM customization.
- Robust design, very low temperature influence and able to withstand harsh environments.
- Can be applied to combine Raman and LIBS functionality in one instrument: both molecular and element information from one instrument.
- Calibration software available, fully automated calibration under development.
- Spectrometer suited for 180 – 800 nm, deep-UV CMOS camera available.

Tailor-made solutions
SPECTRAL offers the service to jointly develop unique LIBS-based chemical detection solutions, custom made according to customer requirements. SPECTRAL is dedicated to co-operate in the entire process starting with a feasibility study up to series production of LIBS sensor units. Currently, we have such joint development projects running with customers in mining equipment and sorting equipment for recycling. We are capable of delivering single LIBS sensor systems but our manufacturing partner also allows for delivery of hundreds of LIBS sensor systems per year.
