Which risk increases when using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) on layered composite materials?

💡 Explanation

Erroneous intensity quantification can occur because plasma emissions from different layers undergo optical interference affecting spectral line intensities. This effect is driven by thin film interference rather than just surface deposition effects; therefore quantitative accuracy diminishes.
