This review consists of two parts which discuss signal-to-noise in a tutorial manner. The
sources of noise, the mathematical representation of noise, and the major types of noises in …

In this review, signal-to-noise ratios are discussed in a tutorial fashion for the case of multiplicative
noise. Multiplicative noise is introduced simultaneously with the analyte signal and is …

The book is unique in comprising our present knowledge about the general state of, and the
processes involving, metal vapours in combustion flames. It deals thoroughly with a great …

An overview is presented of the principles and achievements of various laser-assisted detection
techniques that have been developed to observe a single or a small number of neutral …

A simple quantization procedure is applied to the electromagnetic radiation field in a
nondissipative, weakly dispersive continuous medium. The resulting operator expressions for the …

A non-dispersive, optic-electrical filter instrument is described, which combines high spectral
resolving power (~ 0.1 Å) with large luminosity, at wavelengths which are of interest in …

A method is described for determining experimentally the a′-parameter of resonance lines
of Na,K,Li,Cs,Ca and Sr by combining the so-called curves of growth † with duplication …

An alternating current photoelectric device has been used for determining the yield factor p
of resonance flourescence of the yellow sodium doublet and the infrared and blue potassium …

The non-linear dependence of the atomic fluorescence radiance upon the irradiance of the
excitation source is discussed. Theoretical equations based on the assumption of steady …

The laser-power-output modulation, obtained by reflection of the laser beam back into the
resonator by means of an external moving mirror (EMM), is analyzed in terms of resonator Q …
