"This book presents a review of devices and advanced simulation approaches written by leading researchers and software developers. It is intended for scientists and device engineers in optoelectronics, who are interested in using advanced software tools. Each chapter includes the theoretical background as well as practical simulation results that help to better understand internal device physics. The software packages used in the book are available to the pubic, on a commercial or noncommercial basis, so that the interested reader is quickly able to perform similar simulations."--Jacket.
