Aimed at researchers and graduate students, this book provides
up-to-date information about the electronic interactions that
impact the optical properties of rare earth ions in solids. Its
goal is to establish a connection between fundamental principles
and the materials properties of rare-earth activated luminescent
and laser optical materials. The theoretical survey and
introduction to spectroscopic properties covers electronic energy
level structure, intensities of optical transitions, ion-phonon
interactions, line broadening, and energy transfer and
up-conversion. An important aspect of the book lies in its deep and
detailed discussions of materials properties and the potential of
new applications such as optical storage, information processing,
nanophotonics, and molecular probes that have been identified in
recent experimental studies. This volume will be a valuable
reference book on advanced topics of rare earth spectroscopy and
materials science.
