Abstract

The two subjects of this book are on the one hand the (trivalent) lanthanides containing a partly filled 4f shell and emitting narrow spectral lines (to a certain extent imitating the behaviour of monatomic entities in a dilute gas) and on the other hand the stimulated emission of coherent laser light. Obviously, we can refer only very superficially to laser technology (giving a few references), but we want to devote a few pages to the discussion of future possibilities, especially those related to very high energy densities and to communications at very long distances. Finally, we shall make a few remarks about the distinct characteristics of spectroscopy of condensed matter (as compared with isolated atoms).
