A new class of insulating solids was recently discovered. Whenirradiated by a few visible photons, these solids give rise to amacroscopic excited domain that has new structural and electronicorders quite different from the starting ground state. This occurrenceis called ""photoinduced phase transition"", and this multi-authoredbook reviews recent theoretical and experimental studies of this newphenomenon.
