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. Mathematics is kept as elementary as possible, enough for an intuitive understanding of the experimental results and techniques treated. The subjects covered extend from physics to materials science and optoelectronics.

This book gives a broad overview of the linear and nonlinear optical properties of semiconductors. To this end it introduces the optical properties of matter from a macroscopic and a microscopic point of view, outlines the various quasi-particles or elementray excitations in semiconductors and presents the optical properties resulting from the coupling of light with these elementary excitations.
