Modern Optical Spectroscopy From Fundamentals to Applications in Chemistry Biochemistry and Biophysics 3rd Edition

The 3rd edition of this textbook offers clear explanations of optical spectroscopic phenomena and shows how spectroscopic techniques are used in modern chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics.

Topics included are:

• electronic and vibrational absorption
• fluorescence
• symmetry operations and normal-mode calculations
  
• electron transfer from excited molecules
• energy transfer
• exciton interactions
• electronic and vibrational circular dichroism
• coherence and dephasing
• ultrafast pump-probe and photon-echo spectroscopy
• single-molecule and fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy
• Raman scattering
• multiphoton absorption
• quantum optics and non-linear optics
• entropy changes during photoexcitation
• electronic and vibrational Stark effects
  
• studies of fast processes in single molecules
• two-dimensional electronic and vibrational spectroscopy
