Publisher's Synopsis
The 7th International Workshop on Nonlinear Optics and Excitation Kinetics in Semiconductors (NOEKS 7) was held at Universität Karlsruhe (TH) from 24–28 February 2003. Topics of NOEKS7 were: Ultrafast dynamics (Coherent effects, coherent control, quantum kinetics, Thz–experiments), photonic crystals (2D and 3D photonic band gap materials), quantum dot physics (quantum dots, quantum wires), spin effects (spin dephasing, spin transport), disorder–related effects, organic semiconductors, semiconductor quantum optics (luminescence, photon statistics), device physics (quantum cascade lasers, superlattices, interband lasers), and Bose–Einstein condensation of excitons.
