SECOPTA develops and produces laser-based sensor technology for industrial and security applications. The technology relies on a compact, industry approved solid state laser (of the parent company CryLaS) and is powered by proprietary software (neural nets).SECOPTA´s mine searching system LIBS-PROD – which is based on this platform System also analyze s the atomic composition of surfaces. Secopta provides customized analytic tools based on laser spectroscopy. The applied techniques allow online, on-site and in situ measurements.

 
Working Principle
 

The FiberLIBS is a free beam LIBS system for surface element analysis. It works with a laser focus diameter less than 200 µm and needs a visible defined target on the surface. By the atomic composition in the measuring point it is possible to determine the sample material and to detect and determine contaminations on surfaces. With a laser pulse rate up to 100 Hz the system is able to send out up to 100 analysis results per second.
