An experimental set up has been developed for Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy technique for the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS), DAE, Govt. of India funded project (No. 2007/34/14-BRNS/1326) titled “Trace Element Analysis for Environmental and Biomedical Applications-Development of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Technique”. Dr. B M Suri, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai is principal collaborator of the project. Dr. Kamlesh Alti and Dr. C Santhosh are Principal investigator and co-investigator of the project respectively. Project mainly focuses on trace element detection and quantification using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Technique in environmental, clinical and radioactive waste samples. Remote detection of hazardous samples using LIBS is the ultimate goal of the project.

Along with these major set ups and facilities, we also have  supporting facilities like FT-IR and UV-Visible spectrophotometers, Gas lasers: He:Ne laser, He:Cd laser etc, Detectors: PMTs, CCDs, ICCDs, Lock in Amplifiers, photon counters, Boxcar Averager etc.
