This Festschrift is a tribute to the eminent scholar, Professor Richard Kounai Chang, on his retirement from Yale University on June 12, 2008. During his over f

The optical properties of semiconductors have played an important role since the identification of semiconductors as "small" bandgap materials in the thinies, d

Confinement and manipulation of photons using microcavities have triggered intense research interest in both basic and applied physics for more than a decade. P
