Reduced Density of States

/ edmundsj
If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.
In this video, we figure out how we can treat our semiconductor band structure as a two-level system using the reduced density of states, analagous to our density of states in the conduction and the valence band (all you have to do is plug in the reduced mass instead!).
This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley.
Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.

It is a great series of videos. Thanks very much. I am an MS student in Optoelectronics and Photonics. I hope you will continue making your channel enriched. Cheers...
