About this ebook
Semiconductor Optics 2: Dynamics, High-Excitation Effects, and Basics of Applications is an authoritative graduate-level physics textbook co-authored by Heinz Kalt and Claus F. Klingshirn. Published by Springer International Publishing as part of their Graduate Texts in Physics series, the 5th edition (ISBN13: 9783031512957) serves as a comprehensive guide to optical phenomena in semiconductors beyond the linear regime. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Overview of the Book
This textbook is a thoroughly revised and extended continuation of Claus Klingshirn’s well-known, foundational work on semiconductor optics. To make the extensive material more accessible, it was split into two volumes. [1, 2]
    • Volume 1 focuses on linear optical properties and foundational principles.
    • Volume 2 (This Volume) details what happens under high-intensity optical excitation, many-body effects, and ultrafast processes. [1, 2]
Key Subjects Covered
    • High-Excitation Effects: Analyzes nonlinear optical properties and many-body phenomena that are triggered by high densities of quasi-particles (such as electrons, holes, and excitons). [1, 2]
    • Coherent Dynamics & Relaxation: Explains how optical excitations relax and interact, covering electron-hole plasmas and condensation phenomena. [1]
    • Experimental Techniques: Features specialized inserts detailing critical laboratory methods, including ultrafast spectroscopy, four-wave mixing, and Hanbury-Brown and Twiss experiments. [1]
    • Modern Research Topics: Introduces cutting-edge domains like polariton condensates, single-photon sources, and valley coherence. [1, 2]
    • Practical Applications: Discusses how these physical principles drive technologies in photonics, spintronics, optoelectronics, and quantum information science. [1]
Book Features & Structure
  • Pedagogical Tools: Includes chapter introductions, detailed schematic diagrams of physical concepts, practice problems, and standalone boxed inserts for deep-dives. [1]
  • Target Audience: Designed for graduate students, doctoral candidates, and advanced researchers working across physics, materials science, and optical communication. [1]
