Summary
Summary
Based on a symposium on lasers, molecules, and methods held at the Los Alamos Center for Nonlinear Studies held in July 1986. Contributors present recent advances in theoretical and experimental research on a diversity of dynamical and optical phenomena resulting from the interactions of laser beams with molecules. They describe the predictive results of sophisticated mathematical models, the equipment involved in experiments, and reveal new insights into molecular structure and behavior.
Author Notes
Joseph O Hirschfelder was an American physicist who participated in the Manhattan Project and in the creation of the nuclear bomb.
Robert E Wyatt is a professor of chemistry at University of Texas at Austin, Department Chemistry and Biochemistry.
