Preface

This text provides an introduction to the science that governs the interaction of light and matter (in the gas phase). It provides readers with the basic knowledge to exploit light-matter interactions to develop quantitative tools for gas analysis (i.e. optical diagnostics) and understand and interpret the results of spectroscopic measurements. The text is organized to cover three sub-topics of gas-phase spectroscopy: (1) spectral line positions, (2) spectral line strengths, and (3) spectral lineshapes by way of absorption, emission, and scattering interactions. Greater focus is dedicated to absorption and emission interactions. The latter part of the book describes optical measurement techniques and equipment for practical applications. The text is written for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and pract
