Handbook of Optoelectronic Device Modeling and Simulation Volume 1: Fundamentals, Materials, Nanostructures, LEDs, and Amplifiers

"Optoelectronic devices are now ubiquitous in our daily lives, from light emitting diodes (LEDs) in many household appliances to solar cells for energy. This handbook shows how we can probe the underlying and highly complex physical processes using modern mathematical models and numerical simulation for optoelectronic device design, analysis, and performance optimization. It reflects the wide availability of powerful computers and advanced commercial software, which have opened the door for non-specialists to perform sophisticated modeling and simulation tasks. The chapters comprise the know-how of more than a hundred experts from all over the world. The handbook is an ideal starting point for beginners but also gives experienced researchers the opportunity to renew and broaden their knowledge in this expanding field."--Provided by publisher Optoelectronic devices utilize semiconductor structures that enable the interaction and propagation of electrons and photons, and are the foundation of a huge range of devices. This handbook provides an overview of modeling and simulation for optoelectronic device design, analysis, and performance optimization. Content: Volume 1. Fundamentals, materials, nanostructures, LEDS, and amplifiers -- volume 2. Lasers, modulators, photodetectors, solar cells, and numerical methods.
