note = "The general features of laser-induced metal oxidation and laser-assisted oxide deposition are discussed. The mechanisms of isothermal and laser-induced oxidation processes are compared. The peculiarities of the laser-assisted processes, e.g. non-linearities and non-equilibriums feedback effects, are emphasized. Instabilities connected with the appearance of positive feedback between the laser and thermal parameters, as well as the optical properties of the system, are considered.",
