Description
This book is about radiation trapping, which is a process where radiation is absorbed and re-emitted many times before it reaches the boundaries of its container. This is important in many different areas, such as spectroscopy, gas lasers, atomic line filters, and electric discharge lamps.
Radiation can be absorbed and re-emitted many times in atomic vapors before it reaches the boundaries of its container. This effect, known as radiation trapping, plays an important role wherever atomic vapors occur, whether in spectroscopy, gas lasers, atomic line filters, or electric discharge lamps. This book is the first practical guide to radiation trapping, and it emphasizes both physical insights and mathematical methods.
