Wide-Gap Luminescent Materials: Theory and Applications is a contributed volume that surveys the physical principles behind wide-gap luminescent materials and examines the latest developments in solid-state lasers, scintillators, and fiber optics. Wide-Gap Luminescent Materials: Theory and Applications uniquely combines both the theory of the luminescent materials and their practical implementation in real systems. Another special feature is the emphasis on similar principles underlying phosphors, lasers, and fibers and how the material properties can decisively affect the efficiency of the applications. Researchers will benefit from the thorough coverage, whilst graduate students will find this book to be an accessible introduction to the field.
