Ulteriori informazioni
This book provides a detailed treatment of the fundamental principles underlying the interaction of laser radiation with gas-phase atomic and molecular resonances, with emphasis on a practical approach. The focus is on presentation of the essential material needed to understand laser interactions with molecular and atomic resonances using a consistent and fundamental framework with detailed illustrative examples and numerous tables. In addition, there is a thorough overview of the full breadth of engineering applications for diagnostic probes.
