The book on Semiconductor Optics has been favourably received by the stu-
dents and the scientific community worldwide. After the first edition, which
appeared in 1995 several reprints became necessary starting from 1997, one
of them for the Chinese market. They contained only rather limited updates
of the material and corrections.
In the meantime scientific progress brought a lot of new results, which
necessitate a new, seriously revised edition. This progress includes bulk semi-
conductors, but especially structures of reduced dimensionality. These new
trends and results are partly included in existing chapters e.g. for phonons or
for time-resolved spectroscopy, partly new chapters have been introduced like
the ones on cavity polaritons and photonic structures.
We based the description of the optical properties again on the simple and
intuitively clear model of the Lorentz-oscillators and the concept of polaritons
as the quanta of light in matter. But since there is presently a trend to describe
at least the optical properties of the electronic system of semiconductors by
the optical or the semiconductor Bloch equations, a chapter has been added
on this topic written by Prof. Dr. R. v. Baltz (Karlsruhe) to familiarize the
reader with this concept, too, which needs a bit more quantum mechanics
compared the approach used here. The chapter on group theory has been
revised by Prof.Dr. K. H¨ ummer (Karlsruhe/Forchheim) |
