Semiconductor Optics (Advanced Texts in Physics) - Tapa dura

From the reviews of the second edition: "The optical properties of semiconductors are currently the subject of many fundamental and applied works. a ] The present book is one of the most famous ones in this field. a ] the textbook is not only suitable for graduate and postgraduate students of physics, but also for students of neighboring disciplines, such as material science and electronics. a ] Altogether a ] a well appreciated book in the field of semiconductor optics. It needs to be present on the desk of students, teachers and researchers in the field." (Michel Wautelet, Physicalia Magazine, Vol. 28 (1), 2006)

This updated and enlarged new edition of Semiconductor Optics provides an introduction to and an overview of semiconductor optics from the IR through the visible to the UV, including linear and nonlinear optical properties, dynamics, magneto- and electrooptics, high-excitation effects, some applications, experimental techniques and group theory. The mathematics is kept as elementary as possible, sufficient for an intuitive understanding of the experimental results and techniques treated. The subjects covered extend from physics to materials science and optoelectronics. New or updated chapters add coverage of current topics such as cavity polaritons, photonic structures, structures of reduced dimensionality or the semiconductor Bloch equations, while the chapters on bulk materials have been revised and updated.
