Time‐resolved spectroscopy was used to study the dynamics of the photothermal ignition of Al/Fe 2 O 3 metastable intermolecular composites after single short‐pulse laser initiation. The dynamics were recorded in several time domains from nanosecond to microsecond to quantify the dynamics from initial laser excitation to combustion. Time‐averaged spectral data were also collected for the overall emission occurring during combustion.
