Spectra of meteor plasma, their dynamics and dominant spectral features are usually a subject of mathematical modelling and computations. In our study, on the other hand, we describe and evaluate the advantages and limitations of the experimental techniques employed for meteor spectra simulations. The experiments are performed by ablating meteorite samples using a series of laser sources, i.e. a large terawatt−class gas laser infrastructure PALS, a high-power Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser, and laboratory Nd:YAG and ArF excimer lasers. We demonstrate that, notwithstanding the importance of theoretical spectra computation, laboratory experiments may remarkably enhance the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the meteor emission spectra measured, as well as the assignment of important spectral features therein. We also perform completing experiments to compare the laser-target interaction observed with the expected dynamics of evaporation and disintegration of a real meteoroid body.

流星等离子体的光谱，其动力学和主要光谱特征通常是数学建模和计算的主题。另一方面，在我们的研究中，我们描述和评估了用于流星光谱模拟的实验技术的优点和局限性。通过使用一系列激光源烧蚀陨石样品进行实验，例如大型太瓦特级气体激光基础设施PALS，高功率Ti：Sapphire飞秒激光，实验室Nd：YAG和ArF准分子激光。我们证明，尽管理论光谱计算很重要，但实验室实验仍可以显着提高对测得的流星发射光谱的定性和定量评估，以及其中重要光谱特征的分配。
