The stages involved in the evaporation and ignition of brown coal under the influence of nanosecond laser pulses on tablets of brown coal of density 1 g/cm3 and particle size 63 μm were identified. At the first stage volatile substances are released during the pulse, and evaporation, vaporization, and nonlinear multiplication of the luminescence centers occur; the ignition threshold is \( {\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{cr}}^{(1)} \) = 0.2 J/cm2. The second stage includes the first stage and ignition of the coke residue with ignition threshold \( {\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{cr}}^{(2)} \) = 3.5 J/cm2. In the glow kinetics at H > \( {\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{cr}}^{(1)} \) = 0.2 J/cm2 two components were identified — a singlet state with duration ~20 ns and a second component in the microsecond region which quenches with second-order kinetics. At H > \( {\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{cr}}^{(2)} \) ~ 200 μs after the laser pulse ignition and combustion of coke residue occur in the time interval of 200–1000 μs as a result of chemical reactions. The amplitude of the flame glow during the excitation pulse increases nonlinearly with increasing energy density, which indicates an avalanche-like process for the formation of the glow centers.
