Spectroscopic Instrumentation

  • Chapter
Laser Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: Advanced Texts in Physics ((ADTP))

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to a discussion of instruments and techniques that are of fundamental importance for the measurements of wavelengths and line profiles, or for the sensitive detection of radiation. The optimum selection of proper equipment or the application of a new technique is often decisive for the success of an experimental investigation. Since the development of spectroscopic instrumentation has shown great progress in recent years, it is most important for any spectroscopist to be informed about the state-of-the-art regarding sensitivity, spectral resolving power, and signal-to-noise ratios attainable with modern equipment.
