The physics of processes caused by action of a laser is discussed. The influence of laser parameters on these processes is considered: pulse duration (fs [1-5], ps [1-5], subns [1,2], ns [1,2]), absorbed energy (~0.1-10 J/cm2 [1-6] appropriate to the technological applications), wavelength (from optical [1-6] to soft [7,8] and hard X-rays [9-11]), spot radius (0.1-103 ^m [3,12-15]), metals and dielectrics. Conclusions are made concerning the characteristics of the plume (including during ablation into a liquid) [1,2,5,16,17], laser shocks [3,4,6,10,18-23], the random structures that arise on the surface [8,11,24] and in the volume (changes in crystalline structure [6]) of the target. Effects on homogeneous, film and layered objects are investigated. Typical initial plasma temperatures are ~ 1 eV for nanosecond pulses acting through liquid to metal or semiconductor [1,2,5] targets and up to ~ few tens of eV in the case of femtosecond pulses [6] acting through air near threshold (~ 10-100 J/cm2, ~ 1014-15 W/cm2) of optical breakdown of air. Applications related to laser shock peening [3,4,6,19-21], optoacoustics, and nanoparticle production [1,2,5,16,17] are described.
