This book is intended to be used by students of chemistry, chemical engineering,
biophysics, biology, materials science, electrical, mechanical, and other engineering
fields, and physics. It assumes that the reader has some familiarity with the basic
concepts of molecular spectroscopy and quantum theory, e.g., the concept of the
uncertainty principle, quantized energy levels, but starts with the most basic concepts
of laser physics and develops the advanced topics of modern laser spectroscopy
including femtochemistry
