Special Issue: Optics of Nanostructures

Daniel S. Chemla
OpenURL
Show Topic
Man‐made semiconductor nanostructures provide us with new ways to investigate condensed matter under conditions of reduced dimensionality and could revolutionize optoelectronic technology.

Optical Probes in the Quantum Hall Regime

Arto Nurmikko and Aron Pinczuk
OpenURL
Show Topic
Luminescence and inelastic light scattering provide new ways to study the properties of a two‐dimensional electron gas and have recently shed light on the collective states responsible for the fractional quantum Hall effect.

Wannier‐Stark Ladders and Bloch Oscillations in Superlattices

Emilio E. Mendez and Gérald Bastard
OpenURL
Show Topic
Optical experiments in semiconductor superlattices in electric fields hove shown the existence of a long debated quantum mechanical phenomenon, bringing us closer to demonstrating an extremely fast emitter of radiation.

Nonlinear Optics in Quanutm‐Confined Structures

Daniel S. Chemla
OpenURL
Show Topic
Experimenters and theorists have combined two new and productive fields of physics—nonlinear optics and quantum confinement—to reveal a host of unusual and useful properties in semiconductor heterostructures.

The Spectroscopy of Quantum Dot Arrays

Detlef Heitmann and Jörg P. Kotthaus
OpenURL
Show Topic
Arrays of nanometer potential wells, fabricated at semiconductor interfaces, exhibit infrared absorption lines reminiscent of atoms, molecules and even crystal lattices.

Optical Processes in Microcavities

Yoshihiso Yamamoto and Richart E. Slusher
OpenURL
Show Topic
A new generation of optical microresonators is making possible the exploration of quantum electrodynamic phenomena in condensed matter systems and providing microlasers with a wide range of potential applications.
