Almost fifteen years have now elapsed since the first observations of per sistent spectral hole-burning in inhomogeneously broadened absorption lines in solids. The fact that the spectral shape of an inhomogeneously broadened line can be locally modified for long periods of time has led to a large number of investigations of low-temperature photophysics and photochemistry that would not have been possible otherwise. Using hole burning, important information has been obtained about a variety of in teractions, including excited-state dephasing processes, host-guest dynam ics, proton tunnelling, low-frequency excitation in amorphous hosts, relaxation mechanisms for vibrational modes, photochemi...
This book describes the underlying scientific fundamentals and principal phenomena associated with persistent spectral hole-burning in solids, and presents an overview of possible future applications to optical storage of digital data and optical signal processing. Organization of the material is by the general physical mechanism responsible for the formation of persistent spectral holes. After a description of the basic principles and methods of hole-burning, with examples from photochemical processes in crystalline and amorphous hosts, the unusual proton tunneling phenomena that occur in hydrogen-bonded polymers and glasses are described. Persistent spectral hole-burning in inorganic mater...
Lasers are playing a more and more dominant role in modern optical spec troscopy, offering an increased potential for high resolution and, thus, for more detailed spectroscopic information on dynamic and structural param eters. This book on Zero-Phonon Lines and Spectral Hole Burning in Spec troscopy and Photochemistry gives a concise and very useful survey of some of the pioneering and current work on solid state spectroscopy of various groups in the USSR. It focusses on the optical Mossbauer analogue, the "zero-phonon line", and "hole burning" spectroscopy, a method which increases the resolu tion well beyond the zero-phonon linewidth. In this conte. . 'Ct, the present work is complementar...

"The topics covered in this volume include the materials aspect of crystalline and composite electrolytes, polymers, and glasses. Twenty-one invited and forty-five contributed papers emphasize ionic transport, dielectric studies, electronic and mixed conductors, proton conductors, cathode materials, electrochromism, experimental techniques and application of solid state ionic materials in batteries, fuel cells, electrochromic displays and sensors."--Publisher's website.
This is both a textbook and general reference on the subject of laser theory and basic laser principles. The book gives a detailed accurate treatment of laser physics which does not require a background in quantum mechanics.
Luminescence of Solids gathers together much of the latest work on luminescent inorganic materials and new physical phenomena. The volume includes chapters covering -- the achievements that have led to the establishment of the fundamental laws of luminescence -- light sources, light-dispersing elements, detectors, and other experimental techniques -- models and mechanisms -- materials preparation, and -- future trends. This international collection of cutting-edge luminescence research is complemented by over 170 illustrations that bring to life the text's many vital concepts.
