Abstract
Many methods and achievements in chemistry are based on using the interactive of light with atoms and molecules. It is sufficient to mention photochemistry, flashphotolysis, spectrochemistry and others. The advent of laser amplified the connection between chemistry and light. Today laser light has become a very versatile and effective tool, first, to study the dynamics of chemical reactions, secondly, to stimulate chemical reactions and finally, to analyze substance. The unique properties of laser light (high power, monochromaticity, short duration, directivity and temporal coherence) provide quite new instrumental possibilities in all these problems.
