High Excitation Effects and Nonlinear Optics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Semiconductor Optics

Part of the book series: Graduate Texts in Physics ((GTP))

Abstract

In this and in some of the following chapters we shall leave the regime of linear optics introduced in Sect. 2.3 and proceed to the field of nonlinear optics. Nonlinear optics including high excitation phenomena, laser emission and electro-optics, forms together with the investigation of semiconductors of reduced dimensionality, presently the most active fields in semiconductor science.
