Advances in the Characterization of Excited States of Luminescent Ions in Solids

  • Chapter
Optical Properties of Excited States in Solids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 301))

  • 305 Accesses

Abstract

We discuss the spectroscopic studies of ions in solids which throw light on the properties of excited states which are reached by optical absorption from the ground state. The difference in the ion—lattice coupling between ground and excited states determines the bandshape of the radiative transitions and influences the process of nonradiative decay from the excited state. Absorption processes and excitation transfer out of the excited state also contribute to the reduction in quantum efficiency of the excited state.
