Beschreibung
The book on Semiconductor Optics has been favourably received by the s- dents and the scienti?c community worldwide. After the ?rst 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 scienti?c progress brought a lot of new results, which necessitate a new, seriously revised edition. This progress includes bulk se- 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 againon the simple and intuitively clear model ofthe Lorentz-oscillatorsandthe concept of polaritons asthequantaoflightinmatter. Butsincethereispresentlyatrendtodescribe 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. Hummer ¨ (Karlsruhe/Forchheim) Karlsruhe, C. F.

Includes all current topics in semiconductor optics
Experimental and theoretical approach
Application oriented
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 chapters add coverage of current topics such as cavity polaritons, photonic structures, bulk semiconductors and structures of reduced dimensionality.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"The optical properties of semiconductors are currently the subject of many fundamental and applied works. … The present book is one of the most famous ones in this field. … 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. … Altogether … 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)
