Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy : Techniques and Applications, Hardcover by Berden, Giel (EDT); Engeln, Richard (EDT), ISBN 1405176881, ISBN-13 9781405176880, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

For experienced users and scientists unfamiliar with CRDS, Berden (FOM Institute for Plasma Physics "Rijnhuizen," Nieuwegein, The Netherlands) and Engeln (applied physics, Eindhoven U. of Technology, The Netherlands) compile 10 chapters that overview the techniques and select applications of cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). They explain introductory concepts and basic experimental techniques; useful variants such as continuous wave, phase shift, and broadband CRDS; and developments and applications such as in analytical and atmospheric chemistry, combustion studies, spectroscopic studies of transient molecules in astrophysics, the analysis of exhaled breath in clinical diagnostics, and CRDS under extreme conditions, the detection of species in plasmas and flames. The volume does not review the literature in the field. Chapter authors specialize in applied physics, chemistry, and lasers, in Europe and North America.
