https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.L03473
Any technique in which a specimen is bombarded with a finely focused
laser
beam (diameter less than 10 μm) in the
ultraviolet
or
visible
range under conditions of vapourization and thermal excitation of electronic states of sample material and in which the photon
emission spectrum
is observed.
