Synopsis

This book gives an introduction to the optical properties of solids, including many new topics that have not been previously covered in other solid state texts at this level. The fundamental principles of absorption, reflection, luminescence and light scattering are discussed for a wide range of materials, including crystalline insulators and semiconductors, glasses, metals, and molecular materials. Classical and quantum models are used where appropriate along with recent experimental data. Examples include semiconductor quantum wells, organic semiconductors, vibronic solid state lasers, and nonlinear optics.
