Hello

I am looking for a few textbooks to digest, I am learning the fundamentals of spectroscopy, in particular absorption spectroscopy of gases. Are there any great textbooks out there on these subjects? I feel I need a more solid grounding.

Any undergrad would be welcome, as would any more advanced books on the particulars of absorption spectroscopy.

Regards,

Mikey

In fact any review articles or anything really would be helpful, I can print it off and go through it that way. Just need a bunch of material to read on this subject. For example why certain spectral features form, what the harmonics of these mean, how they are affected by different thermodynamic conditions,

Regards,
