Atomic and Laser Spectroscopy
Alan Corney
Abstract
This book gives an account of the progress that has been made in the fields of atomic physics and laser spectroscopy during the last fifty years. The first five chapters prepare the foundations of atomic physics, classical electro-magnetism, and quantum mechanics, which are necessary for an understanding of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with free atoms. The application of these concepts to processes involving the spontaneous emission of radiation is then developed in Chapters 6, 7, and 8, while stimulated emission and the properties of gas and tunable dye lasers form the subject ...

Keywords: atomic physics, classical electro-magnetism, quantum mechanics, spontaneous emission, stimulated emission, lasers, resonance fluorescence, optical double-resonance, optical pumping, atomic beam magnetic resonance
