Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Ultrafast spectroscopy has proven to be a versatile
and powerful tool for investigating transient
phenomena. This book provides fundamental principle
and general experimental setup of ultrafast
spectroscopy techniques, basic theory of
semiconductor carrier dynamics, as well as basic
concepts of semiconductor nanostructures. The
detailed investigations into the electronic and
optical properties of various semiconductor quantum
systems are presented using a variety of ultrafast
techniques, including up-conversion
photoluminescence, pump-probe, photon echoes and
four-wave mixing on the time scales from femtoseconds
to microseconds and wavelength from the UV to the
infrared. The semiconductor quantum systems studied
include ion implanted ZnO/ZnMgO quantum wells,
InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots, InGaAs/InP
quantum wells and silicon quantum dots.
This book can
be useful to researchers and
practitioners in the fields of spectroscopy,
ultrafast spectroscopy and material science. It will
also benefit to advanced undergraduate students and
postgraduate students in the relevant subjects.
