Silicon Light-Emitting Diodes and LasersThis book focuses on a novel phenomenon named photon breeding. It is applied to realizing light emitting diodes and lasers made of indirect transition type silicon bulk crystals in which the light emission principle is based on dressed photons. After presenting physical pictures of dressed photons and dressed photon phonons, the principle of light emission by using dressed photon phonons is reviewed. A novel phenomenon named photon breeding is also
