About the Cover:

The glowing crystal on the cover is a chromium-doped garnet, normally green, undergoing red fluorescence emission upon excitation by an argon laser. It is accompanied by its room-temperature emission spectrum. Seltzer discusses the interpretation of these spectra using Tanabe-Sugano diagrams in an article beginning on page 886.
