PREFACE
Following the tradition set by previous meetings, the 19th International
Conference on Laser Spectroscopy (ICOLS2009) provided a tranquil and
remote location for researchers to discuss the latest developments and ap-
plications of laser spectroscopy. It was held during 7-13 June 2009 at the
Kussharo Prince Hotel in shore of Lake Kussharo in the Akan National
Park, which provides quiet environment and natural wonder of forests,
calderalakes,mountainsandanactivevolcano.ThiswasthefirstICOLSto
be held in Japan, previous meetings having been in Vail, Meg`eve, Jackson
Lake,Rottach-Egern,HotSprings,Capri,Hangzhou,Innsbruck,Snowbird,
Palm Cove, and Telluride.
The conference was attended by 153 delegates from 19 countries in-
cluding, Austria, Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Is-
rael,Italy,Japan,Netherland,NewZealand,Russia,SouthKorea,Sweden,
Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States. The scientific
programincluded 11 topical sessions with 32 invited talks including 2 “se-
lected poster” presentations and two poster sessions with a total of 112
posters.Intheseproceedingswegatheracollectionoftheinvitedtalksand
