Telle (laser physics, Swansea U., UK) et al. introduce the basic theory and concepts behind laser chemistry for final-year undergraduate students or graduate students of chemical physics, physical and analytical chemistry analytical chemistry: see under chemistry. , photochemistry photochemistry, study of chemical processes that are accompanied by or catalyzed by the emission or absorption of visible light or ultraviolet radiation. A molecule in its ground (unexcited) state can absorb a quantum of light energy, or photon, and go to a , and laser spectroscopy Laser spectroscopy

Spectroscopy with laser light or, more generally, studies of the interaction between laser radiation and matter. Lasers have led to a rejuvenescence of classical spectroscopy, because laser light can far surpass the light from other sources
. Emphasizing basic science (rather than lengthy mathematical derivations) and focusing on molecular mechanisms, it also provides an overview of the experimental techniques and case studies on the topic. Examples detailed are in analytical chemistry, spectroscopy, reaction dynamics, cluster and surface reactions and environmental chemistry, with a section on applications in industry, environmental studies, biology, and medicine. Chapters cover the operation of lasers, key properties of laser radiation, features of various sources, and commonly used techniques, instrumentation, and data acquisition methods. Others describe principles of unimolecular and bimolecular bi·mo·lec·u·lar
