Description
Introduction to Laser Spectroscopy is a well-written, easy-to-read guide to understanding the fundamentals of lasers,
experimental methods of modern laser spectroscopy and applications. It provides a solid grounding in the fundamentals of many aspects
of laser physics, nonlinear optics, and molecular spectroscopy. In addition, by comprehensively combining theory and experimental techniques
it explicates a variety of issues that are essential to understanding broad areas of physical, chemical and biological science. Topics
include key laser types - gas, solid state, and semiconductor - as well as the rapidly evolving field of ultrashort laser phenomena for
femtochemistry applications. The examples used are well researched and clearly presented.
Introduction to Laser Spectroscopy
is strongly recommended to newcomers as well as researchers in physics, engineering, chemistry and biology.
Audience:
Undergraduate and graduate students in physics, chemistry, and biology. Researchers and engineers in communications, laser medicine, materials science and other engineering fields.
