Abstract
AbstractSlightly more than 60 years have passed since the introduction of the laser. The unique property of high peak power in short pulses has led to applications in which light energy replaces mechanical energy for removing mass, structuring surfaces, creating new materials, weapons, remote analysis, fusion, surgery, and many other esoteric applications that fall under the process called laser ablation. This manuscript addresses several accomplishments in laser ablation research and development, including fundamental behavior, some unique applications with emphasis on chemical analysis, and a current interest to measure isotope ratios in laser induced plasmas at atmospheric pressure.
