Laser Spectroscopy

Laser spectroscopy is a technique that uses lasers to study the interaction of light with matter, helping to identify and analyze substances at a molecular level. By tuning the laser to specific wavelengths, scientists can excite atoms and molecules, revealing their unique fingerprints based on how they absorb or emit light. This method is sensitive and precise, making it invaluable in fields like chemistry, physics, and environmental monitoring. Nonlinear optics can enhance laser spectroscopy by enabling interactions that wouldn't normally occur, allowing for even more detailed insights into the properties of materials.
