Abstract
Optical spectra of semiconductor provide a fundamental source of information on its electronic structure. Photons can excite electrons from the filled valence bands to the empty conduction bands (interband optical transitions), from filled defect states to the conduction band or from the valence band to the empty defect states (defect-connected optical transitions). These are the basic optical transitions, which we will treat here.
