Summary:

Experienced in the absorption and emission spectroscopy of solids, Di Bartolo (Boston College, US) explains the basic mathematical tools and physics involved in such research. The book could serve as a textbook for a two-term graduate course in solid-state spectroscopy for students with at least a year of quantum mechanics, but not necessarily any knowledge of group theory. His topics include the connection of quantum mechanics with group theory, the magnetic ion in a crystal, the quantum theory of the radiation field, the ion-photon interaction, fluorescence spectra of magnetic ions in crystals, and elements of laser theory.
