ABSTRACT:
The study of how light interacts with matter is made possible by the potent method known as laser absorption spectroscopy. The purpose of this technique is to determine the molecular makeup, concentration, and behaviour of the target species by detecting the absorption of light at particular wavelengths. Laser absorption spectroscopy continues to play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of gas-phase processes and addressing pressing societal challenges through its applications in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and healthcare. The different types of lasers have been discussed such as solid-state lasers, liquid state lasers, gas lasers, the solid state lasers include Semiconductor lasers, Titanium-sapphire lasers, Nd: YAG laser solid-state lasers is in single-line emission, where the laser produces a narrow spectral linewidth output at a specific wavelength. liquid state lasers include Dye lasers Liquid-state lasers have been employed in diverse applications due to their unique properties and tunability. This paper explores the applications of single-line emission from liquid-state lasers, emphasizing their importance in spectroscopy, biomedical imaging, and environmental monitoring. gas lasers include excimer laser, carbon dioxide laser, Helium neon laser, Argon laser Gas lasers with single-line emission characteristics have become indispensable tools in numerous scientific, industrial, and medical applications due to their precise wavelength control and narrow spectral linewidth and their types and instrumentation, mechanism of action the techniques of laser absorption spectroscopy and detail about tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy and applications of different types of lasers and laser absorption spectroscopy.
