Abstract

This chapter is especially dedicated to the optical properties of bismuth oxyhalides. The absorption and reflectance spectra to study the spectral absorption and the band-gap energies of the material, photoluminescence spectra to study the recombination of photoinduced charge-carriers are presented.
