Optical Processes in Semiconductors

Rating:
Summary: Easy to understand its discussion
Review: A very elegant, eloquent text on its subject. Explains the major physical processes very clearly, without drowning you in tons of mathematics. The sheer clarity of Pankove's exposition is the greatest appeal of this book. After reading this, you may wish to go onto heftier tomes that delve into greater detail. But consider starting here.

While the text dates from 1976, its explanations of optical phenomena are still valid. Don't consider it outdated.
