Overview
- Introduces readers to the methods and concepts of spectroscopic measurements of gases;
- Adopts a practical perspective on key concepts from the vantage of engineers and experimentalists with applications in mind;
- Confines discussion of underlying quantum physics to only that which is required to understand spectroscopic measurements, providing a very accessible presentation of gas-phase spectroscopy across multiple disciplines of engineering and applied science;
- Combines coverage of gas-phase spectroscopy and optical diagnostic techniques;
- Reinforces reader understanding with over 150 detailed figures and illustrations;

About the authors
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 applicationto 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.
