Physics of Optoelectronics focuses on the properties of optical
fields and their interaction with matter. Understanding that
lasers, LEDs, and photodetectors clearly exemplify this
interaction, the author begins with an introduction to lasers,
LEDs, and the rate equations, then describes the emission and
detection processes.

The book summarizes and reviews the mathematical background of the
quantum theory embodied in the Hilbert space. These concepts
highlight the abstract form of the linear algebra for vectors and
operators, supplying the "pictures" that make the subject more
intuitive. A chapter on dynamics includes a brief review of the
formalism for discrete sets of particles and continuous media. It
also covers the quantum theory necessary for the study of optical
fields, transitions, and semiconductor gain.

This volume supplements the description of lasers and LEDs by
examining the fundamental nature of the light that these devices
produce. It includes an analysis of quantized electromagnetic
fields and illustrates inherent quantum noise in terms of Poisson
and sub-Poisson statistics. It explains matter-light interaction in
terms of time-dependent perturbation theory and Fermi's golden
rule, and concludes with a detailed discussion of semiconductor
emitters and detectors.
