Abstract
In this chapter we deal with the fundamentals of wave propagation. The relationships derived are quite general. However, we are chiefly interested in III–V semiconductor materials. Of special significance are optical frequencies in the neighborhood of the bandgap, and hence for AlGaAs wavelengths from yellow-red to the near infra-red region of the spectrum, and for InGaAsP corresponding to the infra-red region. We also call optical waves light waves.
