Book excerpt: The volume describes the optical spectra of Nd2+ and Nd3+ ions in host materials. The Nd3+ ion is one of the most important activator ions in solid-state laser crystals. Thus its optical spectra arising from transitions within the levels of the 4f manifold have been extensively investigated. The field is surveyed by an expert author who discusses the spectra of Nd3+ in solid inorganic neodymium compounds in great detail. In addition, a complete survey is given on the Nd3+ spectra in host crystals of other inorganic non-rare earth compounds and also on the effects of codoping of additional rare earth ions in these compounds. Spectra of Nd3+ in other hosts will be discussed in a forthcoming volume.

Download or read book The Physics of Thin Film Optical Spectra written by Olaf Stenzel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-10-10 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present monograph represents itself as a tutorial to the ?eld of optical properties of thin solid ?lms. It is neither a handbook for the thin ?lm prac- tioner,noranintroductiontointerferencecoatingsdesign,norareviewonthe latest developments in the ?eld. Instead, it is a textbook which shall bridge the gap between ground level knowledge on optics, electrodynamics, qu- tummechanics,andsolidstatephysicsononehand,andthemorespecialized level of knowledge presumed in typical thin ?lm optical research papers on the other hand. In writing this preface, I feel it makes sense to comment on three points, which all seem to me equally important. They arise from the following (- tually interconnected) three questions: 1. Who can bene?t from reading this book? 2. What is the origin of the particular material selection in this book? 3. Who encouraged and supported me in writing this book? Let me start with the ?rst question, the intended readership of this book. It should be of use for anybody, who is involved into the analysis of - tical spectra of a thin ?lm sample, no matter whether the sample has been prepared for optical or other applications. Thin ?lm spectroscopy may be r- evant in semiconductor physics, solar cell development, physical chemistry, optoelectronics, and optical coatings development, to give just a few ex- ples. The book supplies the reader with the necessary theoretical apparatus for understanding and modelling the features of the recorded transmission and re?ection spectra.
Download or read book Frontiers of Optical Spectroscopy written by Baldassare Di Bartolo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced spectroscopic techniques allow the probing of very small systems and very fast phenomena, conditions that can be considered "extreme" at the present status of our experimentation and knowledge. Quantum dots, nanocrystals and single molecules are examples of the former and events on the femtosecond scale examples of the latter. The purpose of this book is to examine the realm of phenomena of such extreme type and the techniques that permit their investigations. Each author has developed a coherent section of the program starting at a somewhat fundamental level and ultimately reaching the frontier of knowledge in the field in a systematic and didactic fashion. The formal lectures are complemented by additional seminars.

This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical Interactions in Solids presents an extensive and unified treatment of the basic principles of the optical properties of solids. It provides a theoretical background to workers in the field of laser physics and absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of solid state materials. The book is a comprehensive coverage of the subject and is systematically and didactically organized. The level of presentation is such that it will benefit and interest both advanced students and research workers. Group theory — which is useful throughout — is introduced early in the book advocating the scientific community to overcome the reluctance to employ this powerful method. Consistent emphasis is given throughout the book to the relevance of symmetry and to detailed calculations. Different subjects as various as quantum theory of radiation field, thermal vibrations of molecules and crystals and covalent bonding are brought together in a unified treatment which requires knowledge of all these topics and this points to the interpretation of the spectral properties of solids. The content of this work could be used as a two term graduate course in solid state spectroscopy.br>

Download or read book Optical Spectra of Ce and Pr written by Karl Gürs and published by Springer. This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume opens a series dealing with the optical spectra of rare earth ions in inorganic solid rare earth compounds, host crystals, and glasses. Ions of the elements Ce to Lu in host materials serve as optically active centers in commercially used phosphors and in solid state lasers. Thus, much experimental and theoretical work on their spectra has been performed and is still in progress. Both a phenomenological description of the experimental spectra as well as the appropriate energy level diagrams are given. The topics of the present volume are the optical spectra of cerium and praseodymium ions in solid host materials. Especially the spectra of Pr3+ ions continue to be studied intensively because of laser activity in the visible region and the experimentally observed upconversion phenomena. The great variety of host materials includes praseodymium halids, PR3+-doped rare earth halides like LaF3 or LaCL3, fluorite, garnets, borates, phosphates, double nitrates or glasses.
