The meeting was a forum on the state of the art of the fundamental aspects and the applications of Coherent Antistokes Raman Scattering (CARS) and related nonlinear optic techniques. This volume contains the works of scientists from distinguished research centres of universities, public and private institutions in Europe and other countries, who work on the application of nonlinear laser spectroscopic techniques to the study of gas combustion kinetics, noninterfering flame temperature measurements, high temperature reactors, plasmas and the evaluation of nonlinear optical parameters and...
