How Does a Luminescent Material Absorb Its Excitation Energy?

  • G. Blasse
  • B. C. Grabmaier

Abstract

A luminescent material will only emit radiation when the excitation energy is absorbed. These absorption processes will be the subject of this chapter with stress on excitation with ultraviolet radiation. The emission process will be treated in the next chapter.
