Light--Material Interactions and Applications in Optoelectronic Devices

by Anjali Chandel, Sheng Hsiung Chang

Overview

This book aims to guide graduate students how to investigate and understand optoelectronic devices via exploring the light-material interactions with graphical concepts and simplified formulas. This book can be a textbook in graduate courses and a reference book in undergraduate courses. The contents in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are related to electromagnetic waves, laser beams, and waveguides. The contents in Chapters 6, 7, and 8 are related to excitons and carriers in semiconductors. The contents in Chapters 9 and 10 are focused on solar cells and light-emitting diodes, respectively.

Key Features:

• Provides the fundamental knowledge of light-matter interactions in hot fields such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and nano-plasmonic devices.

• Guides the readers on how to design optical spectrometers.

• Explains widely used optical technologies.

• Connects material properties and device performance.
