Download or read book Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems, Proceedings of the INT Meeting, Italy, 24-27 September 1991 written by Andrea D'Andrea and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-03-26 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems provides an overview of research in semiconductors that exhibit resonance enhanced optical nonlinearities in the frequency range close to the valence-conduction band gap. The book is divided into the following sections: quantum wells, wires, and dots; superlattices; nonlinear optical properties of confined systems; and effects of external fields on confined systems. Topics range from fundamental theory to more applied aspects of excitons in confined sytems.
