This textbook delivers a comprehensive review of modern spectroscopy encompassing a plethora of various X-ray, photoelectron, optical and laser, as well as radiofrequency and microwave spectroscopic techniques. On the fundamental side, it focuses on physical principles and the impact of spectroscopy on our understanding of the building blocks of matter, while in the area of applications, particular attention is given to those in chemical analysis, photochemistry, surface characterization, environmental and medical diagnostics, remote sensing at short and long ranges, and astrophysics. It features detailed discussion of laser cooling and trapping, Bose–Einstein condensation, ultra-fast spectroscopy, high-power laser–matter interaction, spectroscopy and imaging in astronomy, and various spectroscopic aspects of laser medicine.
This thoroughly updated and significantly expanded 5th edition of Svanberg’s Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy includes a new section on the interplay of optical spectroscopy and multispectral imaging, as well as new coverage of laser-spectroscopic applications to cultural heritage monitoring, ecology, optical mammography, and photoacoustic tomography. For newcomers to the field, it introduces a new section on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, providing a brief primer to those students without formal experience in the subject. Based on the author’s 50-year career lecturing on spectroscopy and its interdisciplinary applications, the book features over 100 chapter-end questions and close to 3000 references, offering a wealth of meticulously curated experience and pedagogical insight to graduate and advanced undergraduate students throughout physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science.

Über Autor(innen)

Sune Svanberg is a professor of physics and served as head of the Atomic Physics Division of  Lund University  till 2008 and as founding director of the multi-disciplinary Lund Laser Centre till 2010.  Remaining as a senior professor at his university, he also for 10 years had a part-time appointment at South China Normal University, Guangzhou. He has extensive research experience in radiofrequency, optical and laser spectroscopy, high-power laser/matter interactions, and in the use of lasers in combustion diagnostics, environmental and ecological monitoring, as well as in medical diagnostics and treatment. He is thus in good position to cover the vast scope of the book. He has co-authored well over 600 papers and trained a large number or undergraduates and graduates in basic and applied atomic and molecular spectroscopy. He served extensively on international committees and scientific advisory committees. He received many awards, is a member of six scientific academies, holds five honorary doctor degrees and has four honorary professor appointments.
