Springer Nonclassical Light from Semiconductor Lasers and LEDs

Explore the advanced physics of photon generation with this research monograph from Springer. Part of the Springer Series in Photonics, this book examines the quantum statistical properties of light produced by semiconductor lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This text focuses on recent research activities regarding nonclassical light generation using semiconductor devices, with much of the work originating from Stanford University. It provides a detailed look at how semiconductor materials act as an active medium to convert the flow of carriers, such as electrons and holes, into a flow of photons. For researchers and students studying photonics, this volume offers a deep dive into the conversion processes required to achieve specific statistical properties in light. By analyzing the relationship between carrier flow and photon generation, this book serves as a specialized resource for those studying semiconductor-based light sources and quantum optics.
