Description
The first true introduction to semiconductor optoelectronic devices, this book provides an accessible, well-organized overview of optoelectric devices that emphasizes basic principles. KEY TOPICS: Coverage begins with an optional review of key concepts-such as properties of compound semiconductor, quantum mechanics, semiconductor statistics, carrier transport properties, optical processes, and junction theory-then progress gradually through more advanced topics. The Second Edition has been both updated and expanded to include the recent developments in the field.
