This text provides an introduction to the science that governs the interaction of light and matter (in the gas phase). It provides readers with the basic knowledge to exploit the light-matter interaction to develop quantitative tools for gas analysis (i.e. optical diagnostics) and understand and interpret the results of spectroscopic measurements. The authors pair the basics of gas‐phase spectroscopy with coverage of key optical diagnostic techniques utilized by practicing engineers and scientists to measure fundamental flow‐field properties. The text is organized to cover three sub‐topics of gas‐phase spectroscopy: (1) spectral line positions, (2) spectral line strengths, and (3) spectral lineshapes by way of absorption, emission, and scattering interactions. The latter part of the book describes optical measurement techniques and equipment. Key subspecialties include laser induced fluorescence, tunable laser absorption spectroscopy, and wavelength modulation spectroscopy. It is idealfor students and practitioners across a range of applied sciences including mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and materials engineering.

About the Author

Ronald K. Hanson is the Woodard Professor of Mechanical Engineering at

Stanford University. Prof. Hanson has been actively involved in teaching and applied

spectroscopy research at the High TemperatureGasdynamics Laboratory at Stanford

for over 40 years, resulting in over 95 Ph.Ds being awarded under his supervision.

The Hanson research group has published over 1000 technical papers, contributing

to many advances in optical diagnostics, and also shock wave physics, chemical

kinetics, combustion science and advanced propulsion. Co-authors Dr. Mitchell

Spearrin and Dr. Christopher Goldenstein are former students of Prof. Hanson’s

research group.

R. Mitchell Spearrin is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace

Engineering at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Prof. Spearrin’s

research focuses on spectroscopy and optical sensors with experimental application

to dynamic flow fields in aerospace, energy, and biomedical systems.

Christopher S. Goldenstein is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering

at Purdue University. Prof. Goldenstein’s research focuses on the development and

application of laser-based sensors for studying energetic materials, energy systems,

and trace gases.
