Practical Spectroscopy of High-Frequency Discharges (Physics of Atoms and Molecules)

A uniquely practical book, this monograph is the first to describe basic and applied spectroscopic techniques for the study of physical processes in high frequency, electrodeless discharge lamps. Special attention is given to the construction and optimization of these lamps, a popular source of line spectra and an important tool in ultraprecise optical engineering. Highlights include discussions of:

• high precision measurements of gas pressures
• spectral source lifespan
• and more.
