Advances in Laser Spectroscopy: v. 3

The aim of this series is to record the progress achieved each year in atomic and molecular spectroscopy due primarily to the introduction of laser spectroscopy. Topics covered in this volume include Electronic Excitations, Solutions, Solids, Surfaces, Metal Clusters and Counterions, Combustion Dynamics, Intramolecular Relaxation, Photochemistry and Photodissociation and Laser Surgery. They are studied by such techniques as Resonance Raman, Inverse Raman and Raman Gain Spectroscopy, Visible Overtone Spectroscopy and Multiphoton Spectroscopy. The concept for the series was developed from the symposia "Recent Advances in Laser Spectroscopy", held annually at the Polytechnic Institute of New York and organized by the Editors. However, whilst contributions are based upon the proceedings of these symposia, they are not restricted to that forum but include other useful and relevant additions.
