About this book

Porous Semiconductors: Optical Properties and Applications provides an examination of porous semiconductor materials. Beginning with a description of the basic electrochemistry of porous semiconductors and the different kinds of porous semiconductor materials that can be fabricated, the book moves on to describe the fabrication processes used in the production of porous semiconductor optical components. Concluding the text, a number of optical components based on porous semiconductor materials are discussed in depth.

Porous Semiconductors: Optical Properties and Applications provides a thorough grounding in the design, fabrication and theory behind the optical applications of porous semiconductor materials for graduate and undergraduate students interested in optics, photonics, MEMS, and material science. The book is also a valuable reference for scientists, researchers, and engineers in the field of optics and materials science.

Reviews

From the reviews: “Kochergin (Luna Innovations) and Föll (Univ. of Kiel, Germany) focus primarily on silicon’s experimentally measured properties and applications … . Each chapter contains a useful list of recent citations. This monograph is particularly valuable for researchers; graduate students in physics, materials engineering, optics, or electrical engineering; and industrial engineers. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate through professional collections.” (J. Lambropoulos, Choice, Vol. 47 (9), May, 2010)
