Abstract
This article reports on an advanced level physical laboratory experiment designed for college level undergraduate education and for scholars who need specialized training on using and interpreting Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy. The technical principle, experimental operation and sample preparation of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy are introduced in detail. A presentation and discussion of the use of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy in the traceability of four common samples is emphasized. Combining Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy with Machine Learning, two distinct datasets are constructed through the extraction of spectral features. Dimensionality reduction of spectral data is performed using Linear Discriminant Analysis, while the Random Forest model is employed for provenance classification. Finally, the interpretability of the Random Forest model is leveraged to explore the contributions of different spectral elements to provenance tracing. Results demonstrated the system’s effectiveness in not only accurately identifying ash types but also in elucidating the influential chemical components, offering significant implications for material analysis and environmental monitoring. On an educational standpoint, this paper will allow any reader, in particular, undergraduate and graduate students, to gain a better understanding of the theory and practice of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and machine learning.
