Laser‐based in situ diagnostic techniques with high temporal, spectral, and spatial resolution have become valuable tools to study the molecular dynamics of gas‐phase and heterogeneous reactions as well as complex technical combustion processes. Results of recent experiments will be presented in which laser‐induced fluorescence, sum‐frequency generation surface vibrational spectroscopy, Rayleigh scattering, excimer laser‐induced fragmentation fluorescence, and high‐resolution tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy were applied to investigate elementary chemical gas‐phase and catalytic combustion reactions, internal combustion engine processes, as well as coal combustion and waste incineration.
