Abstract
The mechanisms of laser-beam-induced ionisation of matter are briefly reviewed and discussed in relation to applications in spectroscopic an d analytical techniques. Non-selective laser-induced ionisation is des cribed as an example of a rapid, real-time technique applicable in har sh environments. Highly selective resonance ionisation, which is much more sensitive, is described with accounts of recent investigations em ploying resonance ionisation mass spectroscopy.
