This comprehensive textbook and reference covers all phenomena involving light in semiconductors, emphasizing modern applications in semiconductor lasers, electroluminescence, photodetectors, photoconductors, photoemitters, polarization effects, absorption spectroscopy, radiative transfers and reflectance modulatons. With numerous problems. 339 illustrations.
One of The first books written on the optical properties of semiconductors and still one of the best reference works. Now even more relevant as lasers are used widely to stimulate and probe semiconductor integrated circuits. The Dover edition makes this a cheap but invaluable addition to anyone working in the field.
