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 selection of atomic and molecular velocities for the purpose of Doppler-free spectroscopy, laser control of the 410 0$aInternational Series of Monographs on Physics 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aLaser cooling 606 $aLaser beams 606 $aLaser spectroscopy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aLaser cooling. 615 0$aLaser beams. 615 0$aLaser spectroscopy. 676 $a535.8/4 700 $aLetokhov$b V.
