It will also be useful to researchers practising in this field. It gives an intuitive, yet sufficiently detailed and rigorous introduction to light-atom interactions with a particular emphasis on the symmetry aspects of the interaction, especially those associated with the angular momentum of atoms and light. The book will enable readers to carryout practical calculations on their own, and is richly illustrated with examples drawn from current research topicAtomsPhysical opticsPolarization (Light)Electronic books.Atoms.Physical optics.Polarization (Light)539.7Auzinsh Marcis463142Budker Dmitry750519Rochester Simon863940MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458651703321Optically polarized atoms1928553UNINA
