Editorial Reviews

The September 1994 course was designed to be cross-disciplinary, affording both breadth and depth for newcomers. Among the topics addressed in 12 contributions based on presentations at the school but rewritten for this graduate-level text: sources for laser spectroscopy; methods, diagnostics, and instrumentation; absorption and fluorescence; infrared laser spectroscopy of short-lived atoms and molecules; industrial applications of Raman spectroscopy; nonlinear optics; laser desorption; applications of surface second order nonlinear optical signals; and multiphoton ionization and laser mass spectrometry.
