Dispersion of the Index of Refraction Near the Absorption Edge of Semiconductors
Abstract
A simple method is used to calculate the contribution of the rapid rise in optical absorption near the absorption edge of semiconductors to the index of refraction near the edge. Other contributions to the index are also estimated. The results give qualitative agreement with the results obtained for PbS by Riedl and Schoolar, and very good agreement with Marple's prism measurements of the index for GaAs. Some applications to injection lasers are discussed. The temperature and pressure dependence of the index of refraction near the absorption edge is estimated, and agrees well with experimental results for GaAs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
