For the engineer or scientist using spectroscopic laser diagnostics to investigate gas-phase media or plasmas, this book is an excellent resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the physics of ...

Since the first demonstration of the laser in the 1960s, laser spectroscopy has become an essential tool for studying the detailed structures and dynamics of atoms and molecules. Advances in laser ...

Many conventional spectrometric techniques have been effectively used in the detection of solids, liquids, and gases. However, newer laser spectroscopy techniques have emerged as the tools of choice ...

A collaboration between researchers in the US and Germany has made a major breakthrough in optical nuclear clocks, achieving ...

Despite its progressive nature, functionality and flexibility, Raman Spectroscopy is a complex, often challenging procedure demanding a combination of high quality tools employed with appropriate, up ...

A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has succeeded in exciting the atomic ...

During LIBS analysis, a focused pulsed laser bombards the sample removing a tiny amount of material from the surface. Similarly, during a typical one-second measurement, the sample is struck by ...

Ultrashort bursts of laser light are giving scientists a way to freeze one of chemistry’s most elusive moments, the instant ...

Photosynthesis is a complex process involving several light harvesting complexes and reaction centers, but understanding its fine details has been made more urgent by concerns about greenhouse gases ...

Liquids and solutions are complex environments—think, for example, of sugar dissolving in water, where each sugar molecule becomes surrounded by a restless crowd of water molecules. Inside living ...
