Beskrivning

This is an introduction to the art of solid state optical spectroscopy. It presents the theoretical basis of the subject and then illustrates the various topics with relevant experimental data. Simple models have been chosen in the theoretical discussions and elementary mathematical models are used to relate theoretical models and their predictions to experimental measurements.
