Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text treats laser light as a universal tool to control matter at the atomic and molecular level, one of the most exciting applications of lasers. Lasers can heat matter, cool atoms to ultra-low temperatures where they show quantum collective behaviour, and can act selectively on specific atoms and molecules for their detection and separation. - ;Rather different problems can be lumped together under the general term 'laser control of atoms and molecules'. They include the laser |
