Resonance interaction of electromagnetic fields with semiconductors
Abstract
A new nonlinear kinetic theory is presented for the resonance interaction between an electromagnetic field and semiconductors. The treatment is based on new concepts of specific quasi-particles whose kinetics is described by renormalized equations. These concepts are used to develop the absorption saturation theory for a strong electromagnetic field, semiconductor laser theory, and the theory of field pulse transmission by semiconductors. It is shown that the interaction with a strong field gives rise to a number of new phenomena, one of which is the formation of a gap in the semiconductor electron spectrum.
