What is the Approximate Kane Energy of GaAs for Calculating Oscillator Strength?

Click For Summary
The approximate Kane energy (Ep) of GaAs for calculating oscillator strength is reported to be 22.71 eV, as referenced in the book "Optoelectronics" by Rosencher and Vinter. This value is considered essential for researchers studying the optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures. The book is highlighted as a valuable resource for those in the field. Users are encouraged to consult this text for further details on Kane energies. Accurate knowledge of Kane energy is crucial for effective calculations in semiconductor optics.

I do not know that value myself, but the book Optoelectronics by Rosencher and Vinter gives a value of 22,71 eV for the Kane energy of GaAs.

Thank you very much, Cthugha. I download this book and find the table with Kane energies. I guess it is very useful book, for investigators of optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures.

Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'

I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
