Group III-Nitride Semiconductor Optoelectronics

In Group III-Nitride Semiconductor Optoelectronics, expert engineer Dr. Choudhury J. Praharaj delivers an insightful overview of the optoelectronic applications of group III-nitride semiconductors. The book covers all relevant aspects of optical emission and detection, including the challenges of optoelectronic integration and a detailed comparison with other material systems.

The author discusses band structure and optical properties of III-nitride semiconductors, as well as the properties of their low-dimensional structures. He also describes different optoelectronic systems such as LEDs, lasers, photodetectors, and optoelectronic integrated circuits.

Group III-Nitride Semiconductor Optoelectronics covers both the fundamentals of the field and the most cutting-edge discoveries. Detailed appendices contain Maxwell's equations in dielectric media and descriptions of time-dependent perturbation theory and light-matter interaction.

Readers will also benefit from:

• A thorough introduction to the band structure and optical properties of group III-nitride semiconductors
• Comprehensive explorations of growth and doping of group III-nitride devices and heterostructures
• Practical discussions of the optical properties of low dimensional structures in group III-nitrides
• In-depth examinations of lasers and light-emitting diodes, other light-emitting devices, photodetectors, photovoltaics, and optoelectronic integrated circuits
• Concise treatments of the quantum optical properties of nitride semiconductor devices

Choudhury J. Praharaj, PhD, is a Research and Development Scientist at BandOptics Materials in California. He received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University in 2004. He has authored several research articles in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings.
