Description
The rapidly growing list of applications of optical pumping makes this a useful book. Fundamental interaction of atoms with light are described in detail. Applications of this phenomenon are illustrated, for example, imaging in humans based on optically-pumped atomic systems, laser cooling, and trapping of atoms, technologies of magnetic resonance imaging.
