As it is the case for any spectroscopic technique, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is strongly influenced by the signal fluctuations, and the LIBS spectra need to be normalized to obtain enhanced analytical performance. Nowadays, normalization in LIBS remains an open question and, in the...
