This book presents an account of the course "Optical Properties of
Excited States in Solids" held in Erice, Italy, from June 16 to 3D,
1991. This meeting was organized by the International School of
Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre
for Scientific Culture. The purpose of this course was to present
physical models, mathematical formalisms and experimental
techniques relevant to the optical properties of excited states in
solids. Some active physical species, such as ions or radicals,
could survive indefinitely if they were completely 'isolated in
space. Other active species, such as excited molecular and
solid-state systems, are inherently unstable, even in isolation,
due to the spontaneous mechanisms that may convert their excitation
energies into radiation or heat. Physical parameters that may be
used to characterize these excited systems are the localization or
delocalization, and the coherence or incoherence, of their state
excitations. In solids the excited states, whether they are
localized (as for impurities in insulators) or delocalized (as they
may occur in semiconductors), are relevant in several regards.
Their de-excitation is extremely sensitive to the nature of the
excitations of the systems, and a study of the de-excitation
processes can yield a variety of information. For example, the
excited states may represent the initial condition of the onset of
such processes as Stokes-shifted emission, hot luminescence,
symmetry-dependent Jahn-Teller and scattering processes, tunneling
processes, energy transfer to like and unlike centers,
superradiance, coherent radiation, and excited state absorption.
