Popis: A quantitative comparison of the performance of four different laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy detection systems is presented. The systems studied are an intensified photodiode array coupled with a Czerny–Turner spectrometer, an intensified CCD coupled with a Czerny–Turner spectrometer, an intensified CCD coupled to an Echelle spectrometer, and a prototype multichannel compact CCD spectrometer system. A simple theory of LIBS detection systems is introduced, and used to define noise-equivalent spectral radiance and noise-equivalent integrated spectral radiance for spectral detectors. A detailed characterization of cathode noise sources in the intensified systems is presented.
