Quantum Well Intersubband Transition Physics and Devices

The book "Quantum Well Intersubband Transition Physics and Devices" offers a comprehensive analysis of intersubband transitions in quantum dots, which have garnered significant interest in recent years. These transitions are particularly promising for applications in the mid- and far-infrared range. The works presented in this volume focus on fundamental processes of linear intersubband transitions as well as the physics and applications of detectors. It provides a current overview of the state of knowledge in this field, including the demonstration of highly homogeneous, large focal plane arrays. Additionally, emerging topics such as infrared modulation, harmonic generation, and emission are also addressed, which are still in the early stages of their development.
