Recent advances in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell technique were reported in this article. The details of the double-sided laser heating system and the sample assembly were discussed to realize stable heating for a long duration and a reduction of the temperature gradient in the diamond anvil cell. Several experimental techniques for in situ X-ray observation were reviewed also. Phase relations of synthetic and natural garnets under lower mantle conditions were investigated using the laser-heated diamond anvil cell combined with synchrotron radiation.
