The laser beam is directed through an optical system (commonly mirrors, lenses, prisms, or optical fibers) and focused onto the sample’s surface. When the laser interacts with the sample, a part is ablated, vaporized, and generates a high-temperature plasma. The species in the plasma emit electromagnetic radiation characteristics of each element in the sample. This radiation is collected by lenses and conveyed through an optical fiber to a spectrometer, where diffraction occurs. The diffracted light is detected using a CCD (charge-coupled device) or ICCD (intensified charge-coupled device). Finally, a spectrum (Figure 1) is generated (Miziolek et al., 2006).  aLaser1 aMILORI, D. M. B. P.  tJournal of Open Source Softwaregv. 9, n. 93, 5961, 2024.
