Aspects of hole-burning and spectro-temporal holography in molecular doped solids (Review Article)

The persistent spectral hole-burning (PSHB) phenomenon is known since 1974. It is still an important research area for the study of the intimacy of complex molecular systems in the solid state, revealing high resolution spectra, photophysics, photochemistry and dynamics of molecular doped amorpho...
