Brian Henderson graduated with B Sc (1958) and Ph D (1962) at
Birmingham University, England. Researches into the spectroscopic
properties of point defects and paramagnetic ions in insulating
materials led to appointments at AERE Harwell, as Reader in Physics
at Keele University, Professor of Natural Philosophy at Trinity
College, Dublin and Professor of Photonics at the University of
Strathclyde in Glasgow. He has more than 200 publications including
books, critical reviews and refereed
journal articles. He retired in 1997.

Frank Imbusch obtained the BSc (1956) and MSc (1958) degrees at
University College, Galway, after which he carried out graduate
research for his Ph D (1964) at Stanford University with the Nobel
Laureate Art Schawlow. His researches on high resolution optical
spectroscopy of transition and rare earth metal ions in solid state
hosts continued at the Bell Laboratories before his return to
Galway as lecturer in Physics in 1967. He was promoted there to
Professor of Experimental Physics in 1976
and retired from the Department of Physics in 2000. He is at
present Academic Research Officer at the Royal Irish Academy.
`An excellent introduction to the theoretical and experimental
aspects of solid-state spectroscopy.'
David R. Foster, American Scientist
`This book has been carefully and clearly written and is
attractively produced...an excellent introduction to the
subject.'
William Hayes, Journal of Modern Optics
`A worthy general account.'
Peter Day, The Times
