Full Description
This book presents an overview of the latest in research and development of laser-based and optical measurement techniques, which are uniquely suited for environmental and industrial process analysis. Unlike conventional techniques, laser based equipment can work without direct physical contact with the measuring object, feature high measuring frequencies and can make simultaneous determination of several substances. The text records the work of a German national research program.
