Laser Spectroscopy for Sensing: Fundamentals, Techniques and Applications, Second Edition, examines the latest advances in laser spectroscopy and its use in a diverse range of industrial, medical and environmental applications. The book provides an overview of laser spectroscopy at three levels, including the fundamental aspects to consider when planning use of laser spectroscopy to solve a problem (from the sample properties to the laser properties to the data analysis), the technical aspects of several spectroscopic techniques, and the fields of applications of such techniques. New sections include key advancements from the field and chapters surrounding Raman Spectroscopy and Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

• Presents the fundamentals of laser technology for controlling the spectral and temporal aspects of laser excitation
• Explores laser spectroscopy techniques, including Raman Spectroscopy and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
• Considers the spectroscopic analysis of industrial materials and their applications in nuclear research and industry
