A careful review of the literature covering various aspects of applications of lasers in science and technology reveals that lasers are being applied very widely throughout the entire gamut of physical medicine. After surveying the current developments taking place in the field of medical applications of lasers, it was considered appropriate to bring together these efforts of international research scientists and experts into one volume. It is with this aim that the editors have prepared this volume which brings current research and recent developments to the attention of a wide spectrum of...

Solid State Spectroscopy is a burgeoning field being applied in many branches of science including physics, chemistry, biosciences, surface science and materials science. The currently available information about various spectroscopic techniques is scattered across various disciplines in the scientific and technical literature not within easy reach of the reader. There is a need to have a comprehensive yet concise volume including major research efforts in various spectroscopic techniques, currently in practice around the world, to become available under one cover.

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.
