This book contains the lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced
Research Workshop on the "Intersubband Transistions in Quantum
Wells" held in Cargese, France, between the t 9 h and the 14th of
September 1991. The urge for this Workshop was justified by the
impressive growth of work dealing with this subject during the last
two or three years. Indeed, thanks to recent progresses of
epitaxial growth techniques, such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy, it is
now possible to realize semiconductor layers ( e.g. GaAs) with
thicknesses controlled within one atomic layer, sandwiched between
insulating layers (e.g. AlGaAs). When the semiconducting layer is
very thin, i.e. less than 15 nm, the energy of the carriers
corresponding to their motion perpendicular to these layers is
quantized, forming subbands of allowed energies. Because of the low
effective masses in these semiconducting materials, the oscillator
strengths corresponding to intersubband transitions are extremely
large and quantum optical effects become giant in the 5 - 20 ~
range: photoionization, optical nonlinearities, ... Moreover, a
great theoretical surprise is that - thanks to the robustness of
the effective mass theory - these quantum wells are a real life
materialization of our old text book one-dimensional quantum well
ideal. Complex physical phenomena may then be investigated on a
simple model system.

Optoelectronics is a practical and self-contained graduate-level text on the subject. The authors include such topics as quantum mechanics of electron-photon interaction, quantization of the electro-magnetic field, semiconductor properties, quantum theory of heterostructures and nonlinear optics. They build on these concepts to describe the physics, properties and performances of light-emitting diodes, quantum well lasers, photodetectors, optical parametric oscillators and waveguides. The emphasis is on the unifying theoretical analogies of optoelectronics, such as equivalence of quantization in heterostructure wells and waveguide modes, entanglement of blackbody radiation and semiconductor statistics.
In its original form, this widely acclaimed primer on the
fundamentals of quantized semiconductor structures was published as
an introductory chapter in Raymond Dingle's edited volume (24) of
Semiconductors and Semimetals. Having already been praised by
reviewers for its excellent coverage, this material is now
available in an updated and expanded "student edition." This work
promises to become a standard reference in the field. It covers the
basics of electronic states as well as the fundamentals of optical
interactions and quantum transport in two-dimensional quantized
systems. This revised student edition also includes entirely new
sections discussing applications and one-dimensional and
zero-dimensional systems.
Key Features
* Available for the first time in a new, expanded version
* Provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals and
fascinating applications of quantized semiconductor structures
