This text will be useful for undergraduate students in advanced lab classes, for instructors designing these classes, or for graduate students beginning a career in laser science.

This book provides a collection of experiments to introduce lasers into the undergraduate curricula in Chemistry and Physics. A variety of experiments are included with different levels of complexity. All have background information, experimental details and the theoretical background necessary to interpret the results.

This book is perfect for science teachers who want to bringone of the most remarkable research tools of the 20th centuryinto their classrooms: the laser. Requiring only a low-cost, low-power laser, the bookpresents a series of experiments for in-class demonstrations orstudent activities
