They buried the techniques in a few places.

Laser induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) https://appliedspectra.com/technology/libs.html

Laser ablation molecular istopic spectroscopy (LAMIS) https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2016/ja/c5ja0...

*Enhancing Nuclear Analytical Techniques to Meet the Needs of Forensic Science’ (F11021)*

https://www.iaea.org/projects/crp/d52040

>This project will consider applications based on hand-held and portable devices including (but not limited to) ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), near infra-red (NIR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers and some bench-top laboratory instruments that have become ‘field’ transportable including laser induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS), laser ablation molecular isotopic spectrometry (LAMIS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) and multi-spectral imaging (MSI). This CRP is conducted jointly with the Nuclear Sciences Instrumentation Laboratory under CRP G42007.

https://www.iaea.org/projects/crp/f11021

>ion and neutron beam techniques for elemental and molecular analysis is well established and such services are available through a great number of laboratories in the IAEA Member States operating ion beam accelerator or research reactor centers

Isotope spectroscopy I knew of:

For carbon/water isotope determination with spectroscopy you can use cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) for gas state stable isotopes (water, CO, CO2, CH4). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity_ring-down_spectroscopy https://www.picarro.com/environmental/support/literature/mea...

Picaro instrument is ok at precision, cleaning is not fun, and matrix effects suck. Laser lifetime leaves much to be desired.
