Abstract
    Different selective and non-selective laser induced ion and anion sources are
    presented as well as their combination with time-of-flight mass spectrometers
    either of linear or reflectron type. Resonance and non-resonance enhanced
    laser ionization methods and their features of photofragmentation are
    discussed, in their combination with inlet systems for neutral gases. Laser
    induced VUV- and electron onization and laser desorption-postionization are
    illustrated. Techniques and applications of multiple laser excitation in the ion
    source and in the space focus are discussed to achieve synchronicity of two
    experiments, or secondary laser excitation. Examples for laser spectroscopic
    and mass spectrometric applications are given.
