Abstract

A system for detecting a chemical element within a material including at least one laser emission means for ionizing part of the material to generate fluorescence; at least one transmitting Bragg grating that filters the wavelength corresponding to the deexcitation wavelength of the element; and at least one photodiode that detects a line corresponding to the filtering wavelength, wherein the at least one Bragg grating is mobile to vary the filtering wavelength.
