1. A system comprising:

  • a first illumination source configured to illuminate a region of interest to thereby generate a first plurality of interacted photons;

    a first detector configured so as to detect said first plurality of interacted photons and generate a test data set representative of said region of interest;

    a means for analyzing said test data set and identifying a unknown sample within said region of interest;

    a second illumination source configured so as to illuminate a first portion of said unknown sample to thereby generate a second plurality of interacted photons;

    a second detector configured so as to detect said second plurality of interacted photons and generate a LIBS data set representative of said unknown sample;

    a third illumination source configured so as to illuminate a second portion of said unknown sample to thereby generate a third plurality of interacted photons;

    a third detector configured so as to detect said third plurality of interacted photons and generate Raman data set representative of said sample; and

    a means for fusing said LIBS data set and said Raman data set to generate a fused data set and analyzing the fused data set to thereby identify said unknown sample.
