This chapter takes a comprehensive look at laser-supported detonation (LSD), examining both experimental studies and numerical analyses. It investigates the propagation mechanism, the atmospheric pressure dependence, and the role of an electron density threshold in driving the LSD. It clarifies the influence of laser intensity, wavelength, focusing optics, and ambient gas conditions on LSD propagation, highlighting the importance of further investigations to elucidate its propagation structure. It also discusses the energy conversion efficiency, termination conditions, and the propagation velocity of the LSD wave.
