Experimental high harmonic spectra reflected from monocrystalline silicon with linear polarization of the driving pulse along [100] (black curves) and [110] (red curves) crystallographic directions measured with easyLIGHT VUV. The central photon energies of the driving pulses are 0.6 eV (wavelength of 2000 nm).

Sulfur detection by Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) on lunar-analog samples. The aim is to study the potential of VUV-LIBS on a mission to Mars. The results with easyLIGHT indicate improved detection capabilities for sulfur as compared to LIBS in standard spectral ranges. Limits of detection for S are estimated at 0.5at%.
