Abstract
Current state and basics of laser ignition of fuel intermixtures in internal combustion engines as the possible alternative of an existing electrodeless one are viewed. Incentive factors of development of the laser technology are energy conservation, ecology requirements and technical advantages of electrodeless ignition. Technical projects of diode lasers and lasers with diode pumping as probable applicants for this role are cited as examples
Keywordsdiode laser, focusing, fuel intermixture, laser ignition, laser plasma, laser pumping, laser technologies, photodissociation of alkanes, photoionization, spherical aberration
