Nomenclature, symbols, units, and their usage in spectrochemical analysis - XVII. Laser-based molecular spectrometry of chemical analysis: Absorption (IUPAC Recommendations 1999)
This report is the 17th in a series on spectrochemical methods of analysis issued by IUPAC Commission V.4. It is concerned with the principles of laser absorption spectroscopy and its application in the optical wavelength region. The present report has four main sections: fundamentals of laser absorption spectroscopy, Doppler-limited spectroscopy, sub-Doppler laser spectroscopy, and time-resolved laser spectroscopy.
