Book Review: Fundamentals of Laser Spectroscopy for Atoms and Diatomic Molecules Robert P. Lucht | Review by Christian Brosseau Cambridge University Press, 2025, US$110.00 (hardcover) In this book, which is dedicated to the study of the linear and nonlinear spectroscopy of atoms and diatomic molecules, the author develops classical and semi-quantum models that describe the absorption, emission and Raman spectroscopy for gas-phase spectroscopic diagnostics. The care, clarity, depth and scholarship of most of the chapters contained in the book are admirable. I highly recommend this book as a source for graduates and researchers involved in this area. Additionally, it will be helpful to the combustion diagnostics community. #laser #spectroscopy #atoms #Diatomic #molecules
