Description
Optical Spectroscopy bridges a gap by providing a background on optics while focusing on spectroscopic methodologies,
tools and instrumentations. The book introduces the most widely used steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques, makes comparisions
between them, and provides the methodology for estimating the most important characteristics of the techniques such as sensitivity and
time resolution.
Recent developments in lasers, optics and electronics has had a significant impact on modern optical spectroscopic
methods and instrumentations. Combining the newest lasers, advanced detectors and other high technology components researchers are able
to assemble a spectroscopic instrument with characteristics that were hardly achievable a decade ago. This book will help readers to
sourse spectroscopy tools to solve their problems by providing information on the most widely used methods while introducing readers
to the principles of quantitative analysis of the application range for each methodology. In addition, background information is provided
on optics, optical measurements and laser physics, which is of crucial importance for spectroscopic applications.
Audience:
For graduate and post graduate students, and researchers planning to start an advanced experimental work in the fast growing field of optical spectroscopy
