Atomic and Laser Spectroscopy
(Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences)

by Alan Corney
This book discusses many advances in optical physic, and is aimed at advanced undergraduates taking courses in atomic physics, or graduate students in the fields of lasers, astrophysics, and physical chemistry. The book is intended mainly for experimentalists, and the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with free atoms is introduced using classical or semi-classical calculations wherever possible. Topics discussed include the spontaneous emission of radiation, stimulated transitions and the properties of gas and turnable dye lasers, and the physics and applications of resonance fluorescence, optical double resonance, optical pumping, and atomic beam magnetic resonance experiments.

Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (Oxford Series on Optical and Imaging Sciences)

Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy
(Oxford Series on Optical and Imaging Sciences)

by Shaul Mukamel
This textbook presents a systematic and unifying viewpoint for a wide class of nonlinear spectroscopic techniques in time domain and frequency domain. It is directed towards active researchers in physics, optics, chemistry, and materials science, as well as graduate students who enter this complex and rapidly developing field.
Nonlinear optical interactions of laser fields with matter provide powerful spectroscopic tools for the understanding of microscopic interactions and dynamic processes. One of the major obstacles facing researchers in this field, however, is the flood of experimental techniques and terminologies, which create a serious language barrier. The general microscopic correlation function approach to the nonlinear optical response developed in this book is essential for understanding the relationships among different techniques and a comparison of their information content, the design of new measurements, and for a systematic comparison of the optical response of d...

Scientific Writing and Communication: Papers, Proposals, and Presentations

Scientific Writing and Communication:
Papers, Proposals, and Presentations

by Angelika Hofmann
Scientific Writing and Communication: Papers, Proposals, and Presentations covers all the areas of scientific communication that a scientist needs to know and to master to successfully promote his or her research and career. This unique "all-in-one" handbook begins with a discussion of the basics of scientific writing style and composition and then applies these principles to writing research papers, review articles, grant proposals, research statements, and resumes as well as to preparing academic presentations and posters.

FEATURES:

A practical presentation carefully introduces such basic writing mechanics as word choice and word location, sentence structure, and paragraph organization before moving into manuscript planning and organizational strategies. Extensive hands-on guidance for composing scientific documents and presentations then follows.

Relevant and multi-disciplinary examples taken from real research papers and grant proposals by writers ...

The Matrix Has You

The Matrix Has You

by Thomas Ousterhout
The Matrix Has You by Thomas Ousterhout brings the fringes of cutting edge technology and the human imagination together and creates a revolutionary vision of the future that blurs the lines between man and machine. Using the popular film The Matrix as the metaphor, Ousterhout builds an impeccably supported argument that humans and machines, and virtual world technology, are headed for a common future where human perceptions and virtual experience will merge. The resulting โ€�Matrix-likeโ€� reality is not only possible, according to the author, it is closer than we imagine. Using the most recent references in popular and scientific literature, as well as the input and prognostications of leaders in the field of cognition, robotics, artificial intelligence, and brain-computer research, The Matrix Has You paints a future for humanity that is both awesome and ominous. Written in clear and accessible prose, author Ousterhout has produced a book that is both provocative and entertaining.
