The particle dynamics during the synthesis process of nanopaticles by laser ablation in the background gas is described, based on the recent results of laser spectroscopic imaging studies. The nanoparticle synthesis processes in the silicon and YBa2Cu3Ox ablation plume have been visualized using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), Rayleigh scattering and a newly developed decomposition-assisted LIF. Influences of the synthesis conditions on the particle dynamics are presented.
