Abstract

The chapter starts with a discussion of the principles of sepctrometers used in the infrared and far-infrared region. Reflectivity and transmission spectra of selected crystals serve to illustrate the experimental information. Methods are presented for the evaluation of optical constants, i.e. ε 1(ω) and ε 2(ω), from the observed reflectivity and transmission data. We then discuss the Kramers-Kronig relations and certain sum rules relevant for lattice vibrations. It follows a classical study of the interaction of lattice vibrations with light (polaritons) and the propagation of light in crystals. Finally, we present a discussion of one- and multi-phonon absorption processes on the basis of the quantum mechanical treatment of the dielectric constant. An extensive theoretical treatment of infrared absorption and Raman scattering by phonons of non-metals containing complementary aspects has been presented by Bilz, Strauch and Wehner [2.1].
