Abstract

Isotopic analysis process by optical emission spectrometry on laser-produced plasma. According to the invention, the sample to be analyzed (10) is irradiated by a laser beam (20) to produce a plasma (13), the light spectrum emitted by said plasma is analyzed and from it is deduced the isotopic composition of the sample. Application to isotopic analysis in the nuclear industry.
