Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 11, wherein generating the electrical discharge further comprises:
collecting the portion of the optical emission passing through the optically transparent window using a collector of the OES sub-system positioned in view of the optically transparent window;
extracting from the collected optical emission, an emission spectrum relating to each of one or more constituent chemical elements of the rock formation using a monochromator of the OES sub-system;
measuring an intensity of the emission spectrum relating to each of the one or more constituent chemical elements using a set of optical detectors of the OES sub-system; and
using an optical analyzer of the OES sub-system to:
receive the measured intensity of the detected emission spectrums relating to the one or more constituent chemical elements; and
determine concentration of each constituent chemical element of the rock formation based on the measured intensity of the emission spectrum relating to the constituent chemical element, wherein a higher intensity of the emission spectrum indicates a higher concentration of the respective constituent chemical element.
