The beautiful colors of many inorganic compounds, including
minerals and gemstones, as well as the mysterious cold light of
luminescence emitted by these materials, have attracted the
inquisitiveness of natural philosophers for centuries. The
scientific study of such phenomena - the optical spectroscopy of
solids - has paid rich dividends in technological advances such as
lasers and other optronic devices. This is a book on the art of
optical spectroscopy of solids, establishing a theoretical and
experimental framework for the subject, which is well illustrated
with relevant spectra and experimental data.
Chapters 1 to 5 set down the quantum description of atoms, ions
and defects in solids, and the interaction of such centers with
electromagnetic radiation. Considerations of symmetry and the
effects of lattice vibrations on the spectroscopic properties are
treated in detail. The physical bases of prominent experimental
techniques are presented in Chapter 6 and their application to
color centers, dopant rare-earth and transition-metal ions are
described in Chapters 7 -9. The spectroscopic behaviors of magnetic
ions at high concentration are detailed in Chapter 10, followed by
a brief review of the operational features of solid state lasers
that rely on the foregoing discussion of their optical
characteristics. Finally, Chapter 12 describes the application of
magneto-optical double resonance techniques to the elucidation of
the optical properties of insulating and semi-conducting materials.
The authors emphasize that their own interests have guided the
selection of topics from the panoply of available choices. They
have written the book with senior undergraduates and postgraduates
inmind: it is expected also to be useful to seasoned investigators
from solid state physics and engineering from inorganic chemistry,
and from materials and geological sciences.
