Abstract
This paper reviews the application of a systematic microscopic theory for the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors. The theory is applied to quantitatively model and analyze different semiconductor systems. Detailed theory-experiment comparisons are shown for a variety of quantum well gain materials. It is demonstrated how the analysis can be used to aid in the design of modern semiconductor laser devices.
