Mit Lasern kann man das Verhalten der Materie beobachten, aber auch aktiv in Prozesse eingreifen. Beiden Seiten widmet sich dieses zweibändige Handbuch gleichermaßen ausführlich. Zahlreiche interessante Anwendungen spannen den Bogen von der Chemie über die Physik und Materialwissenschaft bis zur Biologie und Medizin. Außerdem informiert das Werk über die instrumentelle Ausrüstung, über Lasersonden und über Versuchsanlagen für die Laserchemie.
