Theory of Spontaneous and Stimulated Emission in Two Band Intrinsic Semiconductor

Abstract

The behavior of a single mode of radiation field coupled to an excited two band intrinsic semiconductor has been investigated with the help of the commutator version of evolution operator method. As dependent on the excitation level three states of the field has been shown to exist: the equilibrium with the number of photons determined by the Bose–Einstein distribution with nonzero chemical potential; the quasi-equilibrium with the average number of photons equal to unity and accompanied by fluctuations; the state of photon avalanche.
