title: Combining Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy with Molecular Laser-Induced Fluorescence.
abstract: We propose combining laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with molecular laser-induced fluorescence (MLIF) with resulting plasma-borne molecules as a means of studying laser-induced plasma (LIP). Examples of this method with LIP-created Al, Si, and B monoxides are presented. Applicability of the LIBS-MLIF method for elemental and isotope analysis is demonstrated.
