Modern optical spectroscopy: with exercises and examples from biophysics and biochemistry student edition

This textbook offers clear explanations of the theory of optical spectroscopic phenomena and shows how these ideas are used in modern molecular and cellular biophysics and biochemistry. The topics covered include electronic and vibrational absorption, fluorescence, resonance energy transfer, exciton interactions, circular dichroism, coherence and dephasing, ultrafast pump-probe and photon-echo spectroscopy, single-molecule and fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy, Raman scattering, and multiphoton absorption. The explanations are based ontime-dependent quantum mechanics and are sufficiently thorough and detailed to be useful for both students and researchers. With the clear, thoroughly illustrated explanations that begin from first principles, the text will also be accessible to readers with little prior training in quantum mechanics. Extra details and highlights are featured in special boxes throughout the text. A helpful exercises section has been included to this new student edition. Student edition now with an exercise section Emphasizes theoretical understanding and draws most of its examples from biophysics and biochemistry Clear, thoroughly illustrated explanations that begin from first principles Text began as lecturenotes for a course on optical spectroscopy that the author taught for graduate students in biochemistry and chemistry
