Abstract: "Perhaps nowhere else in modern chemistry have the investigative possibilities of a technology flourished so rapidly - and successfully - as laser spectroscopy. The use of the laser in spectroscopic analysis has created a formidable array of analytical tools that has excited chemists the world over, enhancing the detail and range of their analysis as well as the creative breadth of their work."--BOOK JACKET. "Assembled here, for the first time in one volume, are ten different laser spectroscopic techniques, each important and unique in its own way - and fully explained by one or more of its leading practitioners. More than simply a technical handbook, Laser Techniques in Chemistry is a detailed examination of the real-world uses of each technique, including how each particular spectroscopy is carried out experimentally or interpretively, the types of systems to which it applies, and the nature of the information that each application yields."--BOOK JACKET.
