Radiative Properties of Semiconductors

The design and manufacturing of sensors, imagers, waveguides, filters, anti-reflection coatings and lenses, operating in the infrared range of wavelengths, requires a reliable database of the radiative properties of materials. This book reviews the optical properties of various semiconductors in the infrared range of wavelengths. Some fundamental and experimental studies of the radiative properties of semiconductors are presented. Previous studies, potential applications and future developments are also outlined. It includes several case studies of the radiative properties of several semiconductors.
