Abstract

Multiphoton processes have been studied since the pulsed ruby laser was first invented in the early 1960’s. However, it is only recently that the development of lasers has progressed to the point that quantitative multiphoton experiments can be made with the confidence that the results can be reproduced in different laboratories. In particular, high-power dye lasers pumped by either YAG or excimer lasers have opened the door to new techniques for the detection of atoms and molecules. Thus it has only been in the last five years that multiphoton processes have been seriously considered as a sensitive and quantitative detection technique for atoms and molecules. In that time we have seen an explosion of new results, particularly in the area of detecting atomic species.
