What Does OOS Stand For?
OOS stands for Optical Oscillator Strength
Optical Oscillator Strength (OOS) is a quantitative measure used in spectroscopy to describe the intensity of optical transitions between quantum states, typically in atoms or molecules. It reflects the probability of electronic transitions induced by electromagnetic radiation and is crucial for understanding light-matter interactions. The OOS is instrumental in various applications, including the analysis of absorption and emission spectra, and helps in characterizing materials in fields such as chemistry, physics, and materials science.
