Seminar „40 years of spectral hole burning“

Institute of Physics, University of Tartu
Tartu, Physicum (Ravila 14C), Room B103
August 26, 2014

A seminar to mark the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the phenomenon of persistent spectral hole burning in 1974 will take place at the Institute of Physics, University of Tartu, Estonia on August 26th, preceded by the opening of the new Physics Building (Physicum) on August 25. The topics include overviews on the fundamentals and applications of high-resolution optikal spectroscopy of solids (zero-phonon lines, spectral hole burning, single-molecule spectroscopy) as well as reports on new developments in the field.
