Abstract: An overview is presented of the fundamentals of continuum-polaron physics, which provide the basis of the analysis of polaron effects in ionic crystals and polar semiconductors. The present paper deals with "large", or "continuum", polarons, as described by the Froehlich Hamiltonian. The emphasis is on the polaron optical absorption.
