Electroreflectance

  • Chapter
Optical Properties of Solids

Part of the book series: Optical Physics and Engineering ((OPEG))

Abstract

In the last two years it has been shown that for a number of insulators, semiconductors, and metals, a strong electric field at or inside the reflecting surface changes the reflectance of a solid in certain narrow ranges of photon energy. One can discuss many aspects of this electroreflectance effect relating it to electro-optics, to surface physics, or to band-structure analysis, to name just a few. This chapter focuses on the contribution of electroreflectance to the determination of the band structure of a solid.
