Abstract;Laser ignition characteristics of boron / potassium nitrate in vacuum was investigated using a diode laser as an energy source. Ignition probability in vacuum was experimentally measured and the minimum laser power for the ignition was at most 0.4 W. The result was compared with the numerical calculation, three dimensional heat conduction inside the pyrotechnic with the exothermic reaction. As a result, the calculated threshold power and ignition time well agreed with the experimental results. (author abst.)
