Abstract
Lasers have contributed enormously to various areas of spectroscopy. Indeed, different forms of spectroscopy have utilized nearly all of the laser’s unique characteristics, i.e. coherence, high power, high resolution, etc. In this respect, the laser spectroscopy of chemical intermediates is exemplary. Most often the experimental environment is dictated by the stringent demands of the production and preservation of chemical intermediates, rather than by spectroscopic considerations. The fact that laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy requires only the passage of a photon into and out of a “remote,” easily perturbed, medium makes it in a number of cases the only spectroscopic tool available for probing this environment. Beyond this advantage, numerous experiments on chemical intermediates have utilized the unique power and resolution capabilities of lasers.
