It is very rewarding for an author to know that his book is to be
translated into another language and become available to a new
circle of readers. The study of the optics and spectroscopy of
activated crys stals has continued to grow. The development and
first remarkable successes of light scattering by impurities in
crystals have occurred in the comparatively short time since my
original book was sent to press. After experimental observation of
the sidebands (wings) in impurity infrared absorption spectra,
interest in these spectra as a source of information on the
vibrations of a crystal in the neigh borhood of an impurity has
increased significantly. Therefore, in addition to making minor
corrections, r have supplemented the section on the effect of
anharmonicity (section25) and written two new sections and another
Appendix on infrared ab sorption, scattering of light by an
impurity center in a crystal, and the adiabatic approximation,
respectively. The bibliography has received several dozen new
entries, but it nevertheless does not pretend to be complete. r
hope that the American edition is useful and in some de gree
corresponds to the general deepening of our physical under standing
of solids."
