Description X, 402 p. 30 illus : online resource Abstract Note Photon correlation is a kind of spectroscopy designed to identify optical frequency shifts and line-broadening effects in the range of many MHz down to a few Hz. The optical intensity is measured in terms of single photon?? detection events which result in current pulses at the output of photomulti?? plier tubes. This signal is processed in real time in a special-purpose paral?? lel processor known as a correlator. The resulting photon correlation func?? tion, a function in the time domain, contains the desired spectral informa?? tion, which may be extracted by a suitable algorithm. Due to the non-intrusive nature and the sound theoretical basis of photon correlation, the phenomena under study are not disturbed, and the parameters in question can be precisely evaluated. For these reasons photon correlation has become a valuable and in many instances indispensable technique in two distinct fields. One of these is velocimetry in fluid flow. This includes hydro- and aerodynamic processes in liquids, gases, or flames where the velo?? city field may be stationary, time periodic, or turbulent, and may range from micrometers per second for motion inside biological cells to one kilometer per second for supersonic flow. The other major field is stochastic particle propagation due to Brownian motion ISBN,Price 9783540394938 Keyword(s) 1. EBOOK 2. EBOOK - SPRINGER 3. Fluid- and Aerodynamics 4. FLUIDS 5. LASERS 6.
