Project Name: Identification of Glasses Using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Technology
Project Leaders: Devin Hicks
Chapter Advisors: Prakash Sharma
Project Description: The purpose of our proposal to use LIBS is to study the elements present in glass samples. In order to have a good quality of optical glasses (for example rare earth doped glasses) there has to be a very precise concentration of dopant present in the glass. The LIBS technique has real time monitoring capability of elements and it will give a good solution for quality control in the process of manufacturing. It is proposed here to use LIBS technique to monitor rare earth ions in glass samples.
