Synopsis

These two volumes provide a comprehensive overview of laser applications in many important fields of chemistry. They cover both the gleaning of information as well as the active influencing of reactions, with the applications stretching from chemistry, physics and materials science to biology and medicine. This handy reference also contains an equipment and peripherals overview for laser probing and laser chemistry setups. For chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and laser specialists, as well as those working in the chemical industry.

About this title

From the Author:

More than 50 experts from industry and academia have contributed to this book. All chapters are linked together. Unlike other existing books, this one covers the whole, interdisciplinary field of "Lasers in Chemistry". Thereby, the author may gain valuable insights and draw cross-learnings from other areas for his own work. Laser safety,

From the Back Cover:

Since its invention in the 1960s, the laser has revolutionized many disciplines in science and technology, as well as in our everyday lives. In chemistry, lasers are not only used to study compounds and materials, but also to influence and even start reactions. By manipulating the reaction conditions, hitherto inaccessible material properties, reaction pathways and improved results can be achieved.
These two volumes cover both the active influencing of reactions as well as the gleaning of information, with applications spanning chemistry, physics and materials science to biology and medicine.
