Multiphoton and Multistep Laser Ionization Spectroscopy of Atoms

  • Chapter

  • 193 Accesses

Abstract

Most of our knowledge about the structure of atoms and molecules has been provided by spectroscopic investigations carried out on these systems. Spectroscopy has, thus, played an outstanding role in the development of knowledge about atomic and molecular physics. The development of tunable lasers has brought about phenomenal growth in the field of laser spectroscopy, during the last three decades. The field of photoionization spectroscopy has received perhaps the greatest attention with a wide range of application in many branches of physics.
