Semiconductor absorption in photonic crystals

Absorption spectra of semiconductor structures in photonic crystal environments are investigated numerically. It is shown that the periodic dielectric structuring changes the local optical and Coulomb interaction properties of semiconductor electron–hole excitations. The structurally induced modific...

Description
Summary:Absorption spectra of semiconductor structures in photonic crystal environments are investigated numerically. It is shown that the periodic dielectric structuring changes the local optical and Coulomb interaction properties of semiconductor electron–hole excitations. The structurally induced modifications offer the possibility to design important aspects of the optoelectronic semiconductor properties.
