Product Description
With recent major breakthroughs in ultrafast laser technology and
femtosecond nonlinear spectroscopic techiques, Femtosecond Laser
Spectroscopy is currently a burgeoning field in many branches of
science, including physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science.
There is an urgent need for researchers and postgraduate students to
have a volume which includes the major research efforts currently in
practice around the world and all under one cover.
From the Back Cover
As concepts and methodologies have evolved over the past two
decades, the realm of ultrafast science has become vast and exciting and
has impacted many areas of chemistry, biology and physics, and other
fields such as materials science, electrical engineering, and optical
communication. The field has recently exploded with the announcement of a
series of remarkable new developments and advances. This volume surveys
this recent growth in eleven chapters written by leading international
researchers in the field. It includes sections on femtosecond optical
frequency combs, soft x-ray femtosecond laser sources, and attosecond
laser sources. In addition, the contributors address real-time
spectroscopy of molecular vibrations with sub-5-fs pulses and
multidimensional femtosecond coherent spectroscopies for studying
molecular and electron dynamics. Novel methods for measuring and
characterizing ultrashort laser pulses and ultrashort pulses of light
are also described. The topics covered are revolutionizing the fields of
biomedical imaging, electron dynamics, ultrahigh precision
spectroscopy, and optical frequency metrology. Surveying the latest
advances in ultrafast lasers, Femtosecond Laser Spectroscopy will be of
interest to both researchers and graduate students.
