  • Project Objectives
  • Obtain spectroscopy data from solid samples
  • Use low power laser and fiber optics for beam
    delivery
  • Design compatible system for Space Exploration
  • Research laser to fiber coupling

Collected Data
  • Tracing Laser beam
  • Knowing beam radius, wo, enable control of fiber
    coupling conditions
  • Thin lens approximation can be use to approximate
    beam radius
  • Thin lens approximation also allows optimizing
    optical system design

Plot of laser beam trace using Mathematica and
thin lens approximation
  • Introduction
  • LIBS ablates solid material into plasma and
    obtain spectra information
  • Main issue lies with focusing relatively low
    power laser into a small high-power spot
  • Delivering maximum laser energy directly depends
    to coupling laser into fiber
  • Propose application
  • Use in space exploration to quickly determine the
    material of solids
  • Integrating sampling system in drill heads

Illustration of how LIBS is obtained
Beam radius at entry point into fiber (woprime3)
vs position of lens 2 (zpos2) in Mathematica
using thin lens approximation and optimization
methods to design optical system.
  • Conclusion and Future Research
  • Initial phase of theoretical work completed
  • Experimental phase next semester
  • Design and build probe head once data is
    collected and determine fiber with best
    transmitting property.
