ATOM, LASER AND SPECTROSCOPY
Experimental spectroscopic techniques, especially those involving lasers, have wide-ranging applications in the fields of physics, medicine, electronics, and chemistry. This compact and student-friendly book deals with both the conventional and modern experimental techniques related to atoms, spectroscopy and lasers. It discusses the recent innovations, types and operating principles of lasers and laser systems. The text uses semi-quantum mechanics to present the vector model of atom to explain topics such as splitting of spectral lines and the static electric and magnetic fields. It provides a good understanding of many commonly used lasers as well as the most recent developments on Bose condensate and atom lasers. The text also focuses on such areas as selection rules, laser-induced atomic and two-photon absorption spectroscopy, spontaneous and stimulated emissions, saturation spectroscopy, and many topics. KEY FEATURES : Coverage is quite extensive to cater to students of most Indian universities—with detailed discussions on atoms, spectroscopy and lasers. Gives special emphasis on modern aspects of spectroscopy such as laser cooling of atoms. Contains more than 140 diagrams to illustrate the concepts better. Primarily intended as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Physics in various Indian universities, this uptodate book would be immensely useful also for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in Chemistry, Astrophysics, Metallurgy and Material Science, and Geology and Mining. In addition, the book could be used as a ready reference by analytical chemists, researchers and forensic scientists.
