Recommendation on book about light-matter interaction

[discworld]

Hello.

I'm looking for a good book that explains light matter interaction comprehensively and specifically addresses photoluminescent materials (such as phosphor powders).

I wanted this reference to get detailed answers to, e.g.:

• what is the mechanism of scattering, absorption and emission in materials?
• what factors influence these properties?
• how do the microscopic scattering and absorption cross-sections relate to their macroscopic counterparts?

Thank you for any suggestion you may have!

Unfortunately, I don't think your suggestion deals with the topics the OP is interested in. The book by Weiner and Ho deals essentially with QED and interactions of light with atoms, not materials.

I will check it out, thanks.

Although I would ideally want the book to address the treatment of the interaction of light with the bulk material (or at least a connection to it), any good book that has a strong section dealing with the mechanisms of fluorescence is also appreciated.

I'll edit my question to reflect this; thanks for pointing it out.

EDIT: I don't seem to be able to edit thread-starting posts, unfortunately.
