Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022096858A1] Described is an aerosol provision system (1) for generating an aerosol from an aerosol-generating material, the system comprising: an optical arrangement (70) provided by the system and comprising at least one irradiative light source (71), the optical arrangement configured to generate a plurality of light beams from the at least one irradiative light source; an aerosol-generating material contained within the system; wherein the optical arrangement is configured to direct the plurality of light beams to intersect at a spatial point (76) within the system, the spatial point located at or adjacent to at least a part of the aerosol-generating material and / or a target material. Also described are a receptacle for an aerosol provision system, an aerosol generator apparatus for an aerosol provision system, means for generating an aerosol, and a method of generating an aerosol from an aerosol-generating material by an aerosol provision system.
