This textbook presents the basic elements needed to understand and engage in research in semiconductor physics. It deals with elementary excitations in bulk and low-dimensional semiconductors, including quantum wells, quantum wires and quantum dots. The basic principles underlying optical nonlinearities are developed, including excitonic and many-body plasma effects. The fundamentals of optical bistability, semiconductor lasers, femtosecond excitation, optical Stark effect, semiconductor photon echo, magneto-optic effects, as well as bulk and quantum-confined Franz-Keldysh effects are covered. The material is presented in sufficient detail for graduate students and researchers who have a general background in quantum mechanics.

One of the remarkable successes of Haug and Koch's book is the selection and the presentation of the material. The authors extract a limited number of main physical points, emphasize common features in the different phenomena and offer a unified approach and an adequately formal treatment, without overwhelming the reader with calculational details. The authors succeed in presenting the material in a rigorous but simple and elegant form, within the framework of a mathematically standard quantum mechanical approach."
"... I consider this book a useful and opportune monograph. Several problems are given at the end of each chapter, making this monograph a really effective textbook. I would like to recommend it as required reading for graduate students and researchers who intend to enter semiconductor physics and technology. -- Leonid V Keldysh, Physics Today, 1994
"The coverage of the book is broad and the style is very economical ... gives a good account of well established theoretical ideas and is an excellent starting point for any theorist new to the field."
