Nonclassical Light from Semiconductor Lasers and LEDs

The quantum statistical properties of light generated in a semiconductor laser and a light-emitting diode (LED) have been a field of intense research for more than a decade. This research monograph discusses recent research activities in nonclassical light generation based on semiconductor devices, performed mostly at Stanford University. When a semiconductor material is used as the active medium to generate photons, as in semiconductor lasers and LEDs, the flow of carriers (electrons andho...
