Claim One:
1. A system comprising: an illumination source, wherein said illumination source is configured to illuminate at least one of: a first region of a sample to thereby generate a first plurality of interacted photons and a second region of said sample to thereby generate a second plurality of interacted photons; a fiber array spectral translator device, wherein said device comprises a two-dimensional array of optical fibers drawn in into a one-dimensional fiber stack so as to effectively convert a two-dimensional field of view into a curvilinear field of view and, a Raman spectrometer wherein said Raman spectrometer is configured so as to effectively separate said first plurality of interacted photons into a first plurality of wavelength bands; a LIBS spectrometer wherein said LIBS spectrometer is configured so as to effectively separate said second plurality of interacted photons into a second plurality of wavelength bands; a Raman detector to thereby generate a Raman data set representative of said first region; and a LIBS detector to thereby generate a LIBS data set representative of said second region of said sample.
