“…We shall not be concerned here with the details of the physics of dye lasers (see, for example, Shank 1975) but will concentrate on what features are presently available. Although we will deal mostly with dye lasers, much of the discussion also applies to colour centre lasers (Gellermann et al 1982, Welling 1983 and to diode lasers (Fleming and Mooradian 1981). These different sources complement each other because in general terms dye lasers work well in the visible while diode and colour centre lasers cover the infrared region.…”

Laser experiments now dominate the field of high-resolution optical spectroscopy of atoms. This review attempts to show why lasers have had such an impact on the subject and to describe the techniques in use today. It starts by looking at the characteristics of present-day laser sources and at detection methods and techniques for frequency measurement. Then the various ways of performing Doppler-free high-resolution laser spectroscopy are dealt with in turn and examples are given from different areas of atomic spectroscopy to show the wide application of lasers. The main methods dealt with include beam techniques (thermal atomic beams and fast ion beams), multiphoton spectroscopy, saturation methods and laser cooling of atoms and ions. The review concludes by highlighting a number of areas where further development can be expected in the near future.

The vibrational dynamics of fluorescent defects in alkali halides are interesting for a number of reasons. Information on electron-phonon interactions, relaxation of localized excitations and energy transfer phenomena may be obtained from a detailed study of the fluorescence properties at short times after optical excitation. In particular, the vibrational state, or states, of an impurity center may be directly determined from the time-resolved fluorescence spectrum under certain conditions, revealing details about internal energy relaxation processes. Recent advances such as the modelocked color center laser [1] and the demonstration of vibrational fluorescence [2] have provided increased interest in the vibrational properties of defects and defect systems in alkali halides.
