AbstractLaser‐InducedBreakdownSpectroscopy(LIBS)andRamanspectroscopycanprovidecompositioninformationofthesampleintheelementalandmolecularaspectrespectively.DuetothesimilarityoftheLIBSandRamanspectroscopysetups, a compact laser‐based spectroscopy system that is capable toperform these two typesofmeasurements ispossible,which generally leads to amore comprehensive understanding of the sample itself. The compact systemrequires compact components such as lasers, spectrometers anddetectors, but laboratory components areusuallycumbersome. In this study, theperformanceof sucha compact laser spectroscopy systemwas evaluatedbasedonlaboratory equipment by analyzing the quality of food samples such as cheese. The pros and cons are comparedbetween a compact system and a laboratory system. The trends and needs for developing the compact laserspectroscopysystemaregiven.
