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 ...

Raising the energy state of an atom's nucleus using a laser, or exciting it, would enable development of the most accurate atomic clocks ever to exist. This has been hard to do because electrons, ...

Molecular spectroscopy studies the interactions of light and matter. In addition to electronic states, molecules can store energy by vibrating and rotating. Molecular spectroscopy studies the ...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a precise analytical method that detects molecular vibrations, creating unique spectra for identifying functional groups and structures. It’s used in fields from ...

Transient extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy has become an increasingly popular tool in developing ultrafast science advancements. Probing core-to-valence electronic transitions, XUV light sources ...

Physicists achieve major leap in precision and accuracy at extremely low light levels. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) have successfully developed a new technique for ...

An ultraviolet photon-counting dual-comb spectrometer. Two ultraviolet frequency combs of slightly different pulse repetition frequencies are generated at very low light levels by nonlinear frequency ...

I'd start by focusing on the fact that spectroscopy is essentially a series of unrelated disciplines, since lots of phenomena can be described along a spectrum. So, for example, mass spec and NMR ...

The ion of the hydrogen molecule is ideally suited for making ultra-precise measurements of important physical constants. Physicists at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) headed by Professor ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) have successfully developed a new technique for deciphering the properties of light and matter that can simultaneously detect and ...
