| Summary |
Spectroscopic Measurement: An Introduction to the Fundamentals, Second Edition contains the foundational topics associated with optical spectroscopic techniques, covering the basic theory of applied spectroscopy and presenting alternative approaches to understand physical processes. Electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, molecular spectroscopy, optics, and radiation form the foundations of the field are all thoroughly covered. On top of these rest the techniques applying the fundamentals, including Emission Spectroscopy, Laser Induced Fluorescence, and Raman Spectroscopy. This comprehensive and fully updated second edition includes additional coaching and covers new material online broadening, nonlinear techniques such as coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy, and more. Researchers not formally trained in these topics, but who apply spectroscopy in their work, will appreciate the detail contained in this book to ensure accuracy of their technique and/or to develop more sophisticated measurements. |
