Preface to the Fifth Edition
Since the 4th edition 2008, many new achievements in Laser Spectroscopy have been successfully realized. as for example the expansion of optical comb spectroscopy into the extreme UV and its applications to metrology and astronomy, the progress in high harmonics generation and in attosecond spectroscopy, the experimental realization of entangled atoms in traps, the improvement of optical parametric oscillators with extended tuning ranges and of fibre lasers in a wide spectral range. In particular the manifold of applications of laser spectroscopy in chemistry, biology medicine and for solving technical problems has considerably increased. The relevance of these developments has been underlined by awarding 3 times in the last 12 years Nobel prizes to researchers in the field of laser spectroscopy, namely 2001 to E. Cornell, W. Ketterle and C.E. Wieman for realizing Bose– Einstein Condensation, 2005 to J.L. Hall, Th.W. Hänsch for the development of the optical frequency comb and to R. Glauber for his outstanding contributions to the quantum theory of coherence and 2012 to S. Haroche and D. Wineland for their groundbreaking experimental methods applied to single trapped atoms and ions which they investigated with ultrahigh precision laser spectroscopy. Some of these new developments are included in this new edition. The short representation of lasers and the discussion of the experimental tools indispensible for laser spectroscopy have been improved and extended and the references to the relevant literature have been supplemented by recent publications. However, also references to older papers or books are still kept, because they are often authentic fo
