Simulated LIBS

SimulatedLIBS provides Python class to simulate LIBS spectra with NIST LIBS Database interface.
SimulatedLIBS also allows the creation of simulated data sets that can be used to train ML models.
SimulatedLIBS was mentioned is FOSS For Spectroscopy by Prof. Bryan A. Hanson, DePauw University.

Project created for B.Eng. thesis:
Computer methods of the identification of the elements in optical spectra obtained by Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy.

Installation

pip install simLIBS

Import

from simLIBS import SimulatedLIBS

Example

Parameters:

• Te - electron temperature [eV]
• Ne - electron density [cm^-3]
• elements - list of elements
• percentages - list of elements concentrations
• resoulution
• wavelength range: low_w, upper_w
• maximal ion charge: max_ion_charge
• websraping: 'static' or 'dynamic'

Static websraping

libs = SimulatedLIBS(Te=1.0,
                     Ne=10**17,
                     elements=['W','Fe','Mo'],
                     percentages=[50,25,25],
                     resolution=1000,
                     low_w=200,
                     upper_w=1000,
                     max_ion_charge=3,
                     webscraping='static')

Plot

libs.plot(color='blue', title='W Fe Mo composition')

Save to file

libs.save_to_csv('filename.csv')

Interpolated spectrum

SimulatedLIBS interpolates retrieved data from NIST with cubic splines.

libs.get_interpolated_spectrum()

Raw spectrum

Raw retrieved data from NIST

libs.get_raw_spectrum()

Dynamic webscraping

libs = SimulatedLIBS(Te=1.0,
                     Ne=10**17,
                     elements=['W','Fe','Mo'],
                     percentages=[50,25,25],
                     resolution=1000,
                     low_w=200,
                     upper_w=1000,
                     max_ion_charge=3,
                     webscraping='dynamic')

Plot

libs.plot(color='blue', title='W Fe Mo composition')

Ion spectra

After simulation with parameter websraping = dynamic, ion spectra are stored in ion_spectra (pd.DataFrame) and can be plotted.

libs.plot_ion_spectra()

Random dataset of samples

Based on .csv file with chemical composition of samples, one can generate dataset of simulated LIBS measurements with different Te and Ne values.

Example of input_composition_df pd.DataFrame:

W	H	He	name
50	25	25	A
30	60	10	B
40	40	20	C

SimulatedLIBS.create_dataset(input_composition_df,
                             size=100,
                             Te_min=1.0,
                             Te_max=2.0,
                             Ne_min=10**17,
                             Ne_max=10**18)

Example of output .csv file:

	200.0	200.1	200.2	200.3	200.4	...	H	W	Te	Ne
0	0	0	0	0	0	...	2	50	1.43	1.08e+17
1	0	0	0	0	0	...	0	0	1.06	1.08e+17
2	0	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.1	...	0	68	1.82	1.18e+17
3	0	54.5	56.7	54.4	48.4	...	0	3	1.25	1.06e+17
4	0	121.7	143.1	140.5	115.3	...	0	84	1.08	9.23e+17
