Coherent Semiconductor Optics: From Basic Concepts to Nanostructure Applications

This book could not have been written without the extensive work of many diploma and Ph.D. students in our Theoretical Semiconductor Physics Group at the Philipps-Universit¨ at in Marburg. They have contributed to the f- damental understanding and to many applications in the area of coherent semiconductor optics. The one-dimensional tight-binding model, which is exclusively treated in the present book, has been the basis of many of their diploma and Ph.D. theses. The reader will find refere...
