Abstract
Density matrix is an analyzing formalism counting property of the quantum statistics of the electron. So called the rate equation in a laser is derived from the density matrix. The author of this book has contributed to apply the density matrix to the semiconductor laser. Applying ways of the density matrix to the semiconductor material are described.
