Ob zur Oberflachenanalytik oder zur Oberflachenbearbeitung - die Einsatzgebiete von Lasern in der Materialwissenschaft werden standig erweitert. Dabei ablaufende Prozesse beschranken sich gelegentlich auf einfaches Erwarmen und Schmelzen, haufig finden jedoch kompliziertere Vorgange wie die Bildung von Plasma oder kollektive Anregungen statt. Verschiedenste Techniken, die zugehorigen physikalischen Grundlagen und alle wichtigen Prozesse beschreibt dieses Buch, wobei auch neueste Themen wie ultrakurze Laserpulse oder die nichtlineare Oberflachenspektroskpoie zur Sprache kommen.

Cooperative Effects in Optics: Superradiance and Phase Transitions presents a systematic treatment of the modern theory of cooperative optical phenomena-processes in which the behavior of many-body systems of radiators or absorbers is essentially determined by their collective interactions with each other. The book focuses on the theory of collective spontaneous radiation (superradiance) and provides a detailed physical explanation of the mechanism of collective spontaneous emission. It considers numerous models of novel nonequilibrium light-induced phase transitions in a typical quantum electronics system, including two-level atoms interacting with the radiation field and more complex systems of three-level atoms, two-bank semiconductors, and other interatomic interactions with the electrostatic and lattice displacement fields. The book uses some of these models for the interpretation of experimentally observed light-induced critical phenomena. Cooperative Effects in Optics is of great value to research workers in the field of cooperative optical phenomena, especially in the determination of the physical essence of theoretical models developed to describe cooperative effects in multi-atomic systems.

Laser-based optical spectroscopies are powerful and versatile techniques that are continuing to evolve and find new applications. This book presents reviews of recent progress in our understanding of the spectra and dynamical processes of optically excited states of condensed matter, focusing on the advances made possible by the application of laser-based optical spectroscopies. Reviews are given of the optical properties of crystalline and amorphous semiconducting materials and structures, the properties of defect centers in insulators, two-photon nonlinear processes in insulators, optical energy diffusion in inorganic materials, and relaxation in organic materials. The individual chapters emphasize the methodology common to the various investigations. The volume is designed to be suitable as an introduction to applied laser spectroscopy of solids, as well as providing an update on the status of the field.
