What is Phosphor Handbook : Fundamentals of Luminescence about?

The field of luminescence and phosphors has a long history, starting from early observations of light in the dark from afterglow materials. Centuries of extensive research followed aimed at providing insight into optical phenomena, now resulting in an increasing role of phosphors in our daily lives. Applications of luminescence grow more diverse and include, for example, phosphors in the color displays that our eyes seem to be glued to, energy-efficient LED lighting, data communication, luminescent probes in medical imaging and sensing, gadgets relying on afterglow phosphors and even luminescent lanthanides in our banknotes. It is interesting to note the central role that Asia has played in the discovery and development of new luminescent materials. Early applications involved afterglow paints in China, creating alternative images in the dark. While fundamental luminescence research was carried out in the 20th century at all continents, there has been a remarkably strong role of Japan and China in research, development and discovery of new luminescence processes and phosphors. It is, therefore, not surprising that the first edition of the Phosphor Handbook (Keikotai Handobukku) was
