Abstract: | We present the results of investigations undertaken to establish relationships between certain characteristics of the disintegration
of metals in air and liquid under laser radiation and their thermophysical properties, as well as between the basic parameters
of a gas cavity formed in a liquid and the energy of the laser ablation products of metals. Consideration is given to the
possibilities of applying the dynamic properties of this cavity to control the time behavior of the radiation of solid-state
lasers and to solve spectroanalytical problems.
