A second generation lens, the Transitions Plus lens, was introduced in November 1992. In the years since, Transitions Optical has marketed a succession of new lenses. In September 1994 the EuroBrown lens appeared, formulated to give when activated a brown color, especially favored in the European market. The mid-index Transitions III lenses were launched in the United States and in Europe during 1996, and the Transitions XTRActive lenses were introduced in the US in January 1997. The most recently introduced lenses are Transitions III lenses in a standard index matrix. These use the latest technology in organic photochromic dyestuffs and polymer science and engineering, and maintain the company s position... 

This salt (NPrQn, /V-propylquinolinium) consists of tetramerized TCNQ chains. It undergoes a phase transition at 220 K which is considered to be a second-order metal-to-semiconductor transition. Optical reflectivity measurements on crystals, with the light polarized in the chain direction, indicate that the charge distribution on the TCNQ sites in the tetrads is less uniform at 100 K than at 300 K. This is as in TEA(TCNQ)2 (see Section III.A.3). However, estimation of this charge distribution from the bond lengths at 300 K [38] gives ambiguous results for this material [63]. 

Similarly to the transition polarizability the vibrational transition optical activity tensors are written as ... 

The optical transition (optical ionization energy /fio) takes place without lattice relaxation while the thermal ionization energy Eith corresponds to an equilibrium configuration. Figure 2.7 shows that in this particular situation, Eith is smaller than E10. The difference is the Franck-Condon shift Epc- This diagram will be used later with some additions in the discussion of the coupling of the electronic transitions of impurities with the phonon modes of crystal. 

Morsink and Wiersma recently showed that on deuteration the beat disappeared. This may be understood simply on basis of a threefold reduction of the magnetic moment of the deuteron compared to the proton. Also interesting and consistent with this interpretation was the observation that in a magnetic field the beat disappears. This is due to the fact that in a magnetic field all hyperfine levels are pure-spin states characterized by the quantum numbers Ws, Mj> and therefore in the electronic transition, optical branching no longer occurs. 

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a valuable aid by which phase transition temperatures, transition heats, and transition entropies can be conveniently measured or calculated. This technique offers a direct and complimentary (to microscopy) evaluation of thermal behavior. Figure 4 shows the DSC curve for 4-octyloxybenzyli-dene-4 -chloroaniline in which can be seen Kj -K2, K2 Sg, Sg-S, and S -I transitions. All transitions are enantiotropic and all are reversible. The most extensive supercooling occurs for the meso-phase-solid transition, in this case the Sg-K2 transition. Optical microscopy and/or x-ray diffraction is required to assign the specific mesophase type.

Accurate calculations for excitations with DMC are possible for systems as large as free-base porphyrin and models of the green fluorescent protein chromophore. Drummond et al. investigated the electron emission from diamondoids with DMC. Using DFT orbitals in DMC, they calculated the excitation energy for the HOMO-LUMO transition (optical gap), the electron affinity, and the ionization potential for carbon clusters with diamond structure up to CgvHvs. ...

Apart from intrinsically asymmetric chromophores, it is the existence of a dissymmetry in the space around the chromophores that makes their electronic transitions optically active. This dissymmetry is the result of the presence of one or more asymmetric centres (usually carbon atoms) and thus depends on structural factors (configuration, conformation). If the experimental or external conditions are modified (solvent, temperature, solution-composition), then there is a change in the conformational equilibrium which has some effect on the optical activity, thus justifying the interest of ORD and CD in the structural analysis of optically active compounds and particularly of helical conformation or helix-coil transitions of biopolymers.
