Abstract
Lasers are used in mass spectrometry for two different tasks: (i) samp
le volatilization by laser desorption. Lasers can serve for the produc
tion of intact gas phase species from nonvolatile, polar, high molecul
ar weight, and thermally labile substances. (ii) sample ionization. La
sers often act as efficient soft ionization sources.
