Under controlled laboratory conditions,lasers represent a source of energy with well-defined parameters suitable for mimicking phenomena such as ablation,disintegration and plasma formation processes that take place during the hypervelocity atmospheric entry of meteoroids.Furthermore,lasers have also been proposed for employment in future space exploration and planetary defense in a wide range of potential applications.This highlights the importance of an experimental investigation of lasers’ interaction with real samples of interplanetary matter:meteorite specimens.We summarize the results of numerous meteorite laser ablation experiments performed by several laser sources—a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser,the multislab ceramic Yb:YAG Bivoj laser and the iodine laser known as PALS.
