Abstract

High resolution infrared spectroscopy of solid parahydrogen and that of molecules doped in solid parahydrogen are discussed. The quantum states of the excited states of both the hydrogen molecules themselves and the impurities in parahydrogen crystal are well defined, and show rich and narrow spectral structure. The analysis of the spectra allows us to study in great detail excitons in solid states as well as various kind of interactions in the crystal.
