The Mars exploration rovers have used various remote-sensing instruments over the last two and a half decades. The Chemistry and Camera tool uses laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to obtain semiquantitative elemental abundances. The SuperCam instrument is a response to the requirement for remote mineralogy and is also adapted for Raman spectroscopy studies. Both analyzers contain pulsed laser units with Nd : YAG rods and Pockels cells with crystals of rubidium titanyl phosphate, potassium titanyl phosphate and lithium triborate. The specific features of their structure, chemistry, and crystal growth are discussed.

Abstract
The Mars exploration rovers have used various remote-sensing instruments over the last two and a half decades. The Chemistry and Camera tool uses laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to obtain semiquantitative elemental abundances. The SuperCam instrument is a response to the requirement for remote mineralogy and is also adapted for Raman spectroscopy studies. Both analyzers contain pulsed laser units with Nd : YAG rods and Pockels cells with crystals of rubidium titanyl phosphate, potassium titanyl phosphate and lithium triborate. The specific features of their structure, chemistry, and crystal growth are discussed.
