Items related to Optical Properties of Solids (Oxford Master Series...
This book gives an introduction to the optical properties of solids, including many new topics that have not been previously covered in other solid state texts at this level. The fundamental principles of absorption, reflection, luminescence and light scattering are discussed for a wide range of materials, including crystalline insulators and semiconductors, glasses, metals, and molecular materials. Classical and quantum models are used where appropriate along with recent experimental data. Examples include semiconductor quantum wells, organic semiconductors, vibronic solid state lasers, and nonlinear optics.

About the Author:
"Fox's book provides an introduction to the subject for a senior-level undergraduate or a beginning graduate course aimed at students who will use or design equipment that depends on modern optical materials. . . . Fox, on the other hand, provides many well-selected examples, showing graphs of the actual dielectric functions associated with solids of technological intent. . . . Fox provides all that one could ask for in an undergraduate text. He describes many of the key devices for the technologies, including laser media based on Ti:sapphire (used for short pulses), gallium arsenide (for high continuous power), and Er:glass (for fiber-optics amplifiers. . . . While straightforward, Fox's problems offer an excellent way for the reader to test his understanding of the materials presented. . . . On the whole, fox has succeeded in offering a good, compact, senior-level presentation of the optical properties of solids." -- American Journal of Physics
