This lecture covers the dependence of the optical refractive index on energy/wavelength below the bandgap of dielectric media, the change in absorption spectrum in doped semiconductors, and the physics of excitons in bulk semiconductors. It explains the Burstein-Moss shift, tail states, and the binding energy of excitons.
